    Kashmiri pink chai

    Flavorful milky pink tea topped with almonds and pistachio. If you are a chai person, this is one must-try chai.

    Kashmiri kahwa tea

    Kashmiri kahwa tea leaves give the best Kashmiri pink tea. It is a blend of Kashmiri Green Tea with  Saffron, dried rose petals, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, and Fennel. I used Kashmiri Kahwa tea from Adrish Kirkland. It had the perfect blend of spices and tea leaves so I didn't add any add-ons to the tea.

    Can I use green tea leaves?

    Yes, you can use Kashmiri green tea leaves. In that case add Saffron, dried rose petals, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Cloves, and Fennel while boiling water.

    Can I skip baking soda?

    No baking soda is a must for Kashmiri pink tea. Pink color doesn't come from artificial food color. Chlorophyll in tea reacts to bi-carbonate soda. 

    Baking soda quantity

    Always add baking soda just as mentioned. Avoid adding more as might turn tea bitter. Less might not give the desired pink tea.

    Healthy Kashmiri chai

    Reduce cholesterol level, regulate blood pressure, and is good for weight loss. You can replace white sugar with healthy alternatives.

    Mix well and aerate

    Use a ladle or whisk; mix well and aerate the tea decoction. If you are making a big batch, you can even use an electric hand mixer to aerate the decoction. 

    Can I add food color?

    No, if you follow the recipe you will get Kashmiri pink chai. avoid adding food color.

    Do I need to add ice?

    If you have aerated the tea well you need not add ice water. Add ice only if you are going to boil the milk in hot tea. if not skip it.

    WATER AND MILK RATIO

    It totally depends on individual choice. Tea stall-style tea always has more water compared to milk. Some might prepare tea with just milk. I prefer using little water and more milk for my tea. Adjust according to your preference

    AMOUNT OF SUGAR

    Depends on individual choice. If you are making tea for a larger group prepare noon tea and serve the hot tea with sugar on the side.
