Nun Chai



Hello,

You already know I am from the beautiful state of Kashmir, India.

In Kashmir we drink the delicious Nun Chai. 

Nun Chai means Salty Tea. Yes, you read it correctly. It is tea prepared with salt and NOT sugar.

The color of the tea becomes pink after over boiling it. And all who have tried it, have felt in love with it. Thereefore I give you the famous Nun Chai recipe from Kashmir:
