Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups water filtered
- 2 tbsp black tea leaves strong variety like Assam
- 1/2 tsp baking soda for color and texture
- 1/4 tsp salt preferably Himalayan pink salt
- 2 cups whole milk full-fat recommended
- 1 tbsp sugar optional, adjust to taste
Notes
Store leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, avoiding boiling. For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with unsweetened almond or oat milk. The baking soda is crucial for achieving the signature pink color and smooth texture. This tea pairs wonderfully with traditional Kashmiri breads or sweet pastries.
