Kahwah (also spelled qehwa, kehwa or kahwa) (Urdu: قہوہ ) is a traditional green tea recipe from Kashmir. It is also made in parts of Kashmir administered by India and Pakistan, in northern tribal areas of Pakistan, and in parts of Afghanistan.
The tea is made by boiling green tea leaves with saffron strands, cinnamon bark and cardamom pods. Some varieties are made as a herbal infusion only, without the green tea leaves.
Generally, it is served with sugar or honey, and crushed nuts, usually almonds or walnuts.
Kahwah is usually served to guests or as part of a celebration. It is often served in small tea glasses.
