Pink Tea

khan_sahib · April 2, 2001, 9:19pm

or Kashmiri Chaye or whatever it is called. I didn’t get a chance to drink it while in Pakistan so could someone let me know how do they make it.

Some people say that it’s is just the green tea and some people say u just buy the kashmiri tea and then boil it in milk and then shake it well until it turns pink. I have tried all these methods but it didn’t work. So could someone please do rehm on this karachi wala and teach him how to make kashmiri tea?

Okay khan sahib, I just asked my mum. She has the recipe written down somewhere but told me what she knows.
You take the kashmiri chai (or kewa) and boil it in the required amount of water for quite some time until the quantity of water is considerable reduced. Then you add the milk and again, boil it...boil it and whisk it and add a pinch of soda for the pink colour. Add ilachi and badam to it as well.

Any other alternatives?

I have discovered that I have still got some kashmiri tea and I will try it soon.

Hmmm....I have never heard any of the recipes mentioned above, nor have seen any baking soda being used. Coming from a Kashmiri back ground every time it's made at our place, it's cooked in milk and dry fruits only and for a good 2-3 hrs before it actually starts producing a color somewhere along the line of pink. The preparation takes a couple of hours to give it the good taste that it has.
