A vibrant and aromatic tea enriched with spices, perfect for cozy evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons green tea leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • A pinch of saffron
  • Sugar to taste
  • Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil water and steep tea: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil, then add 2 tablespoons of green tea leaves along with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Allow it to cook for a few minutes until the brew develops a deep reddish-brown hue.
  2. Aerate the tea: Using a whisk, beat the tea vigorously. This aeration is crucial—it isn’t just a technique; it’s an act of love that helps produce that enchanting pink color we adore.
  3. Incorporate milk: Slowly add 2 cups of milk to the strained tea while continuing to whisk. This coupling of flavors needs your full attention as it simmers for a few minutes. Watch as the color begins to shift wonderfully!
  4. Spice it up: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and a delicate pinch of saffron. Let it brew for another minute, allowing those vibrant flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve the tea: Strain the tea into cups, sweeten with sugar to taste, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Serve hot, and enjoy the warmth spreading through your hands as you cup the delicate porcelain or glass.

Notes

The key to the perfect pink color is in the whisking! Adjust sweetness to your liking.
