I have always been an ardent fan of green tea and while in Kashmir I discovered its perfect and beautiful avatar, Kahwah. Kahwah is made with kashmiri green tea added with a tantalizing mix of spices. I remember myself taking 2 km walk 2 times everyday to get a perfect cup of it, the one with chopped almonds and whole cardamoms floating in it ...ahh I love it.
While traditional method can be found here, I have discovered a makeshift preparation of the kahwah which is not bad either...
for a single cup..
1 teaspoon green tea.
1 small stick cinnamon
2 cardamoms
1 clove
a leaflet of tulsi (optional)
bring the water to boil with all the spices in it. Put off the flame, pour the tea and let it steep for 2 mins. Strain.
