Kashmiri Pink Chai | Noon Chai is a rich, thick and creamy, buttery and slightly thick texture which is still thin enough to drink. And it comes with a magical aroma of cardamom and saffron and a nutty crunch.

Ingredients:
Kashmiri Chai/Tea leaves- 3 tablespoons (You can also use good quality green tea, if you don’t find Kashmiri Chai leaves)
Salt- 1/4 tablespoons
Water- 2 cups
Ice cold water – 2 cups
Full cream milk – 2 cup
Saffron strands – 7-8
Green cardamom pods, crushed slightly – 6-7 (optional)
Baking Soda – 1/4 teaspoon
Sugar according to your taste
Sliced almonds or crushed almonds and pistachios (I have added sliced almonds here)

Instructions:

Pour 2 cups water, green tea leaves, crushed cardamom and baking soda in a pan.

Add the tea leaves into the water and steep it well.

Let the tea mixture steep well and boil on medium hear until the water is reduced to half. It would take about 18-20 minutes.

Keep shaking vigorously with a ladle as shown in the video.

Turn of the heat and add add 2 cups of cold water. Adding ice-cold water helps in holding the strong pink color.

Shake it vigorously again with a ladle for 1 minute.

Turn on the heat and let it boil again for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Add sugar and salt or only salt or only sugar. Let it boil again.

Keep stirring the mixture and add the milk to this steeping tea mixture.

Boil for about 10 minutes. The more you boil this tea, the stronger, rich and creamier the tea will be.

Strain the tea in cups and add sliced almonds or crushed dry fruits.
Serve it with your favorite snacks and enjoy.

PS: Store this tea in the flask without adding milk and refrigerate for up to 2 days.Add milk and boil it for whenever you want to drink this tea.

Adding saffron gives it a nice flavor, so I recommend adding it.
