Kashmiri Kahwa is a fragrant, warming, mild green tea made with whole spices, saffron, and nuts like almonds or walnuts. Using whole aromatic spices and saffron makes Kahwa Tea warming, for the body – perfect for the cold climate of Kashmir.
Kahwa is one of my favorite ways to have Green Tea.
It refreshes, rejuvenates, relaxes, soothes, calms and makes you feel good. These are the effects of saffron and green tea doing their work.
Please note, this is how I make kahwa. It may not be authentic, but it is delicious. You will love kahwa made this way.
Traditionally, Kahwa is made in copper pots known as samovar in Kashmir. These are large pots where the tea is brewed. In a home kitchen, kahwa is made in a pan.
