Description

Kashmiri Chai, also known as Pink Tea, is a traditional beverage originating from the picturesque region of Kashmir located in northern Pakistan. This aromatic and delicately flavored tea is renowned for its beautiful pink hue and rich, creamy texture, nutty and a bit salty. It’s so satisfying and warm during these cold, windy winter nights.

Here’s a unique recipe to make Kashmiri Chai at home;

Directions:

Pour 4 cups of water into a kettle/pan.
Add all the above ingredients and bring to a boil.
Let simmer for 30 mins.
Add 2 cups of cold water.
Take a ladle and start spooning the tea for 10 minutes. (beating or spooning the tea introduces air, which gives the tea its luscious pink color)
Let simmer for 5 mins.
Strain and set aside.
Can be stored in the refrigerator for 8-10 days.
Pour milk into a pan/kettle.
Add sugar and bring to a boil.
Add 1/3 cup of prepared tea mix in boiling milk. (or as required).
Add 2 tsp of crushed almonds and pistachios.
Pour into cups.
Sprinkle some more crushed almonds and pistachios.
Enjoy hot
