If you agree then join us on a journey where we introduce you to some classic beverages that you can try out instead of your usual tea and make that chai-time a little bit more fun.Â
First on the list is Kashmiri Noon Chai or the gulabi chai, a traditional beverage known for its unique flavour, vibrant pink colour, and creamy texture.

Overall, it is celebrated for its cultural significance and its ability to bring people together over a warm cup of tea. So, this Kashmiri Noon Chai is just perfect for your evening chai session.
Next on the list is Herbal Tea made by brewing stalks of lemongrass, ginger slices, lemon slices, tulsi leaves, cloves, and cardamom pods along with tea powder or tea leaves in water. We have all heard of the benefits of consuming this simple Herbal Tea. So, whether you are a tea fanatic or not, I guarantee you will love each sip of this warm tea. Plus it is loaded with nutrients so it also helps build your immunity. Then simply make a warm cup of Herbal Tea to get rid of your stress.
Talking of teas, the next one comes from Kashmir’s valley- the traditional Kashmiri Kahva or Kashmiri green tea infused with spices such as saffron, cardamom,
Cinnamon, and cloves. Kahva is a lot more than just a normal green tea, it is rather a royal treat packed with fragrant and nourishing ingredients. Traditionally made in a utensil called Samovar, whenever you visit a Kashmiri home, you will be greeted with a cup of Kahva. This simply amazing tea is a true stress-buster.
Then comes the delicious milk recipe loaded with masala and chopped dry fruits, Kesar Doodh. This rich milk is often made to celebrate festivities or even to get that much required nourishment on a daily basis. Besides being easy to make, it also tastes heavenly so it can instantly put a smile on your face.
Lastly, a glass full of Kashmiri Lassi after a tummy-packed meal is something we all absolutely love. So, this time, try giving it a twist by adding in the dry fruits. Chilled sweet Lassi loaded with dry fruits, is a perfect way to cool down your body after a long busy day. The addition of dry fruits also gives it a rich dessert wali feeling.Â
