Kashmiri chaai or pink tea is specialty of Kashmir. The tea is made with green tea leaves (and/or specific type of green tea leaves). Some people use baking soda, to give it pink color. But my recipe has no baking soda in it. However, if you feel that the pink tea is not changing its color after adding cold water in it, you can simply add a pinch of soda.
This recipe of Pink Tea was given to me by one of our family friends and an old neighbor. This recipe has never disappointed me Alhamdulillah. That is why I decided to share it with my readers.
