Popular Types of Chai Across India

Let’s start our journey of exploring different preparation of tea across India. The very 1^st variety of chai which personally I love is from heaven of the earth ‘Kashmir’.

Kahwa From Kashmir

Kashmiri Kahwa tea is made by boiling green tea leaves with saffron grown in Kashmir, cinnamon bark, cardamom pods, and occasionally Kashmiri roses to add a great aroma. Generally, it is served with sugar or honey and crushed nuts, usually almonds or walnuts. Some varieties are made as an herbal infusion only, without the green tea leaves.

If you’re fond of water-based tea then you will fall in love with the Kashmiri tea Kahwa Don’t believe me, try this recipe out for yourself. it is one of the best drinks to sip on cold winter days or if you’ve cold. While the Kashmiri beverages are quintessentially complex, yet they’re very simple and flavourful for the chilled weather outside. You can also relish this throughout the year with your family while being nostalgic about your childhood memories.
