Kashmiri Namkeen Chai | Noon Chai | Pink Tea | Breakfast Series | Rise & Shine | Kashmiri Tadka Twist

We present here the authentic way of preparing the Kashmiri ‘Nun’ or ‘Noon’ or ‘Namkeen’ tea.
‘Nun’ or ‘Noon’ or ‘Namkeen’ chai means Salt Tea in Kashmiri. As the name suggests the traditional Kashmiri ‘Nun’ chai is salted and never is sugar added to it. Although newer commercial preparations in Indian and Pakistani restaurants and tea stalls may include sweetener - (Wiki). ‘Nun’ chai is also known as ‘Sheer Chai’, ‘Pink’/’Gulabi’ tea (Due to its pink color). The prominent pink color of the tea is due to the burgundy color which is attained due to the extraction of Chlorophyll from the tea leaves due to reaction caused by adding Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda). By adding milk the burgundy color changes to pink color.
For non-Kashmiris, since its salt tea, it may take some time to develop the taste but once you develop the taste you’ll get addicted to it.

Nun Chai is good for digestion as well.
