kashmiri Kahwa recipe

 Kashmiri kahwa tea, is generally prepared from Kashmiri green tea leaves, in which spices like saffron, cinnamon, cardamom are infused and kahwa is usually served in transparent cups with sprinkles of  almonds and walnuts. Kahwa is sweetened by sugar or honey and i skipped the sweetener as i don't use sugar in my tea or coffee ( don't think i am diabetic, instead i am have big fan of desserts and sweets hehehe).
Kashmiri Kahwa is traditionally prepared in a brass kettle known as a samovar, which has a central cavity to place live coals and a space for water and the ingredients to boil.

Kahwa is good for digestion after a heavy party food  and aids in weight loss .... and because of spices used its a perfect home remedy for flu, cure chest congestion, severe cold and even headaches!. Depending on the spices used kahwa tea has its own flavor, taste and aroma. For special occasions, a few saffron (called `kong' in Kashmir) strands are added to it, and the tea is known as kong kahwa.
Kahwa is quick and easy recipe with few ingredients getting in to it to make it aromatic tea...

    Oh Nisa, now I'm craving for some of that delicious kahwa. We served that during my daughter's wedding and everyone loved it. Years back when I had gone to Mumbai, I came down with a very bad cold. My sister in law's mother in law made Kashmiri Kahwa for me and told me that it would help my cold. That's the first time I had Kashmiri Kahwa. Yes after several cups over a few days the cold was gone.
