 kahwah and me :

Qehwa, kehwa or Kahwa all means the same its one of my favorite tea. its sweet and spicy tea in taste(original kahwa). Traditionally, Kashmiri Kehwa is prepared in a beautiful brass kettle known as a samovar but when i make it ,its simply on gas stove . since it can be sweet as well as salty , my friends always used to get surprised with how differently it tastes every time i made as every time they came to my place i made this tea with different ingredients.
