A step-by-step guide to brewing the perfect soul-warming cup of traditional Kashmiri Kahwa.
Kashmiri Kahwa is a traditional green tea preparation consumed in the Kashmir Valley. It is an exotic mix of Kashmiri green tea leaves, whole spices, nuts, and saffron. Our pre-mixed Kahwa Blend makes it incredibly easy to brew this royal beverage at home while retaining 100% of the authentic flavor and health benefits.
In a saucepan or traditional Samovar, bring 2 cups of fresh water to a rolling boil.
Add 1 teaspoon of the Kashmir Essence Kahwa Blend to the boiling water. This blend already contains green tea, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, and crushed almonds.
Reduce the heat to low and let the tea simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. You will see the water turn a beautiful golden-amber color as the saffron releases its pigment.
Turn off the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of raw honey or your preferred sweetener. Traditional Kahwa is lightly sweetened to balance the spices.
Pour the Kahwa into traditional cups (khos). Garnish with a few extra slivered almonds or walnuts if desired, and serve immediately.
