Kashmiri Chai – Pink Tea Recipe, Ingredients & Health Benefits
Introduction of Kashmiri Chai:
Kashmiri chai is a very traditional tea. Many Pakistanis, mostly in hilly areas like Kashmir, enjoy this drink in winter. But now, because of its unique and salty taste, people residing in the Punjab also enjoy it.
Kashmiri tea is known for its pink colour, also known as gulabi and pink tea or noon tea. The word noon symbolizes salt, which is one of the ingredients of Kashmiri tea, and the benefit of adding salt is that it prevents people living in hilly areas from dehydration.

We made Kashmiri with the use of a few ingredients that we also use commonly in our daily lives:
- Water: This is basic for the tea.
- Green Tea leaves: The leaves of green tea are the most essential ingredient, adding flavour and making it unique. Their essence is soothing.
- Milk and butter: It smoother the Kashmiri tea and helps prevent people in hilly areas from dry lips.
- Baking soda: It balances the acidity and green colour of leaves and gives them a nicer pink colour, then added to the milk.
- Sugar and Salt: As desired, sweeten and salt it to taste and give it a great flavor.
- Cardamom: It will enhance the aroma and flavour profile, which many people like.
-
Nuts: Almonds and pistachios are often sprinkled on top, adding a crunchy texture that looks great when served.
