The pink tea has always fascinated me with its unique recipe and beautiful colours. It's amazing how a small twist can give such beautiful flavours and taste to our tea cup. I am trying out this wonderful and flavorful recipe of Kashmir, the Sheer Chai or Pink Chai. It has the royal aroma and flavours of tea , cardamom, cloves and crunch of pistachio and dates too. I have topped it with my favourite garnish of rose petals.
I got inspired by the recipe of my CP fellow co author Deepa Rupani ji who has made a beautiful Sheer Chai recipe. So this is my recipe tester attempt with a few of my own touches on her recipe! Try this amazing recipe!
