A green chai in the Kashmiri style: nutty with real almond pieces, warm with cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, but lighter than a black chai. In Kashmir the green-tea-and-almond drink is kahwa, poured for guests before anything else happens; this is our version of it.
Kahwa is the tea of Kashmir: green tea simmered with warm spices and crushed nuts, traditionally from a samovar, often finished with saffron. It is the welcome drink of the region.
Bring filtered or spring water to 180°F. Add 2 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 3 minutes.
