Experience
Best Enjoyed
Hot off the stove with the aromatic spices rising to greet you with each sip; though iced chai is an equally tasty treat. Add your desired sweetener to lift the flavour of the spices.
Best Served
Ceramic cups are perfectly fine or, for a bit of culturally-inspired fun, serve in traditional khosa cups. For a sumptuous experience, impress your guests by serving with your finest china on a decorative tea tray.
Pairs Well With
Kahwa matches beautifully with halwa, dates, and fruits which complement its gentle flavour.

Brew it the traditional Kashmiri way
Bring freshly drawn ambient water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Add 1 tsp of tea per cup. Simmer on low heat for 3 – 5 min. Strain into a teapot or cup. Try brewing in a traditional Kashmiri samovar kettle if handy for the tastiest cup. Sweeten your tea with sugar or honey to enhance the natural flavour. Garnish your cup with a couple of crushed, blanched almonds before pouring. Best served in traditional khosa cups. If sharing, impress guests by serving with your finest china on a decorative tea tray.
