Ingredients
water
2   cup
green cardamoms
3-4  
cinnamon sticks
1-2  
almonds
8  
kehwa tea or green tea
1 1/4   teaspoon
sugar
3 1/2   teaspoon
strand of saffron

Instructions

1. Set aside almonds, cinnamon(grind it in a grinder), crushed cardamoms and green tea bag in a plate. To display how kehwa tea looks, take a look at its picture

2. Pour water in a pan. Put sugar in it. As soon as water heats up, put crushed cardamoms ,grounded cinnamon, crushed almonds and saffron strands.

3. Let the water boil. Now put green tea bag in boiling water(as i am not sure whether you can get kehwa tea anywhere else except in Jammu and Kashmir). Keep it in water until 2 boils come. After that, take out green tea bag and strain the tea with the help of a strainer in the cup(in which already saffron and crushed almonds are there). Note: Don't keep the tea bag or kehwa tea in boiling water for more than mentioned time because the tea will start releasing its bitterness.
