Our favorite weekend tradition is cozying up with a cup of Sheer Chai and catching up with family. Also called Noon Chai and a form of Kashmiri Chai!
Ingredients:
3 cups Water
1/3 cup Green Tea Leaves
1 Cinnamon Stick
2-3 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Sugar
1-2 tsp Ground Cardamom
1/2 gallon Milk
Instructions:
To prepare this irresistible Sheer Chai, start by boiling water with a cinnamon stick. Add green tea leaves and let them soften. Gradually sprinkle in baking soda until the bubbles turn pink. Strain the liquid, then gracefully pour it between bowls to cool it down and intensify its gorgeous hue. You can also skip this step and use ice cubes instead. In a separate pot, heat up your milk and then pour the tea in. Add sugar and ground cardamom, and mix it all together. Adjust measurements to fit your preference. Serve hot or over ice and enjoy!
Shoutout to @hermanathome for the cool subtitles idea!
