Steps

Method 1 of 4: How to Make Pakistani Mix Tea

1. 1 Prepare all ingredients. For the drink, you will need the following ingredients: 1.5 cups of water, ¼ glass of whole milk, ¾ tablespoon of loose black tea and 1.5 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Add sweetener to your drink to taste; if you prefer sweet tea, add more sugar to the cup.
   • This recipe is for one cup of tea, but you can double or triple the ingredients to make a drink for multiple people.
   • Tapal Danedar is a very popular Pakistani tea that is often brewed according to this recipe.
   • If you don't have loose tea, try cutting the pre-packaged tea bags.
2. 2 Boil the tea. Pour 1.5 cups of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the water is bubbling, add the tea leaves. Place the lid on the pot and simmer the tea for one minute, until it turns dark orange in color.
   • Once the liquid is the color you want, add the milk to the pot. Simmer the tea for another minute or two over low heat.
3. 3 Strain and serve tea. Strain the tea mixture through a colander to get rid of the tea leaves. Pour the tea into a cup or teapot and enjoy the taste!
   • Add a pinch of cardamom or cinnamon to the drink to enhance its aroma and flavor. You can add spices directly to the cup.
   • Add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar to a cup, or skip this step if the drink tastes sweet enough.

Method 2 of 4: How to Make Masala Tea

1. 1 Prepare all the ingredients you need. You will need ¾ cup water, 2-4 ground cardamom pods, 1–2 thin slices of fresh ginger, a 3 cm long cinnamon stick, 1 star anise, ¾ cup milk, 1.5 teaspoons black tea, and a sweetener to taste.
   • For this recipe, honey and maple syrup work best as a sweet ingredient.
   • This recipe is for one 240 ml cup.
   • Star anise (star anise) is a Chinese spice that can be purchased in Chinese grocery stores, searched in the spice section of a supermarket, or simply omitted from a recipe.
   • Grind the cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle.
2. 2 Prepare your tea just before serving. In a small saucepan, combine the water, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Let the mixture simmer, then reduce heat and simmer until a rich spice aroma appears. Add milk and tea and cook for another minute.
   • Once the mixture boils, turn off the heat and let the tea brew for two minutes.
   • Strain the tea before pouring and serving. Add sweetener to taste.
3. 3 Prepare the ingredients for the tea the night before. Before going to bed, combine water, cardamom, cinnamon stick, and star anise (don't add ginger just yet). Boil the mixture, then cover the pot and leave overnight.
   • Add ginger in the morning and boil again. Then you need to reduce the heat and boil the contents of the pan until an intense aroma appears.
   • Add remaining ingredients. Boil the mixture for another minute, then turn off the heat and cover for two minutes.
   • Strain the tea and serve.

Method 3 of 4: How to Make Dood Party Tea

1. 1 Prepare the required ingredients. You will need: 1.5 cups of water, 1 cup of milk, 2 tea bags, 4 cardamom seeds, and a sweetener to taste. If you do not have tea bags on hand, you can replace them with ¾ tablespoon of loose tea.
   • Dud Pati tea connoisseurs believe that milk plays a key role in creating the flavor of this tea. For a creamy texture, replace milk with cream.
   • It is advisable to use white granulated sugar to sweeten Dood Party tea.
2. 2 Combine milk and water in a saucepan. While stirring occasionally, heat the mixture until it boils. Then add the cardamom seeds, tea bags, and sugar to the pot.
   • Stir the mixture to distribute the contents evenly and wait until it boils.
   • The longer the tea is brewed on the stove, the stronger it becomes in the end.
3. 3 Strain and serve tea. Dud Pati is traditionally served in a tea bowl, but you can also drink it from a regular cup.
   • You can strain the tea through a colander or strainer in a teapot.

Method 4 of 4: How to Make Kashmir or Nun Rose Tea

1. 1 Prepare the required ingredients. You will need 2 teaspoons of Kashmir leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda (baking soda), 2 crushed cardamom pods, 2 cups of water, 2 cups of whole milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
   • If you don't have Kashmir tea, you can replace it with regular green.
   • As a decoration, you can add 1.5 teaspoons of pistachios and almonds to the drink.
2. 2 Combine tea and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Boil the tea over medium heat, then add the baking soda and beat vigorously for 10 seconds. Add a second glass of water and cardamom, and then boil the tea until the color of the drink changes to a bright red.
   • If you don't have a whisk, a fork or wooden spoon will work fine.
3. 3 Add milk. Heat over medium heat and add milk to a saucepan. Whisk the tea vigorously until a foam appears on the surface. Add salt, stir and pour liquid into a cup. Create a rich flavor with chopped pistachios or almonds.
   • The milk will give the tea a dark pink color. The more milk you add, the more diluted the drink will be and the richer its creamy texture.

Tips

• The longer you infuse the tea, the stronger and more aromatic its taste will be.

Warnings

• Watch the drink on the stove to prevent overcooking.
