         Title: Kashmiri Chai   
    Categories: Beverages, Pakistani, Tea   
         Yield: 1 Batch   
       
         3 ts Kashmiri tea leaves   
         2 c  Water; chilled   
       1/2 ts Baking soda   
         1    Cinnamon stick   
         1    Star anise   
         2    Green cardamom pods;   
              - seeds only, crushed   
         1 pn Salt   
         2 c  Whole milk; more if you want   
              - a lighter color   
       1/2 ts Pistachios; crushed   
              Sugar; to taste   
       
     In a saucepan, bring to boil 1 cup water, tea leaves, salt, cinnamon,   
     star anise, and cardamom.   
        
     When it boils and is frothy, add the baking soda and whisk vigorously   
     by filling a ladle with tea and throwing it back into the pot from a   
     height, known as phantna in Urdu. Do this for about 10 seconds, then   
     add the rest of the chilled water and continue to whisk for another   
     few minutes.   
        
     Continue to boil until the tea becomes a bright red color.   
        
     Reduce the heat to medium low and add the milk. Whisk the tea   
     vigorously until it is slightly frothy. The tea should start to take   
     on Kashmiri chai's distinctive pink color.   
        
     Add sugar (or salt, depending on how you like it), pour into cup and   
     sprinkle crushed pistachios on top.
