CHOOSE ONLY THE BEST TEA LEAVES
If you want your Kashmiri Pink Tea to have a stronger tea flavour, try using fresh, premium green tea leaves that are best while they are loose.
BOIL WATER AND ADD TEA LEAVES
First, add water to a simmer, and then add the preferred tea leaves. Leave them for a few minutes while the water turns dark.
ADD SPICES FOR AROMATIC BLEND
Add a touch of traditional Kashmiri flavours by adding cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves to make it more fragrant and delicious.
ADD SODIUM BICARBONATE
For the signature pink color, add a pinch of sodium bicarbonate to the tea mixture, and let it soak for that special pink colour.
SIMMER WITH MILK AND SALT
Now add milk and a little bit of salt to balance the flavors. The consistency should become smooth once you simmer it gently.
SERVE IT
After taking the tea to the right simmer, strain it to remove any residue, and serve with crispy bread or pastries.
