    About This Recipe

    Have you ever thought of giving a royal touch to your regular masala chai. If not, then you have to try this Amritsari dry fruit tea or badam pista chai.

    Dry fruit tea is your everyday masala chai with the goodness of some dry fruits. Yes, this frothy chai is topped with almond, pistachios, and green cardamom.

    It became famous from Giani tea stall in Amritsar, where people line up to have a hot cup of this badam pista tea in the morning. The masala chai is topped with frothy milk and nuts, giving it a royal touch and a distinct and unique flavor.

    The ratio of milk is more as compared to water in the tea, which makes it nice and creamy, giving it a rich texture. You can adjust the ratio of milk: water as per your taste too.

    It is a perfect hot beverage to serve to your guests during festivals or their visits when you want to serve something special. I am sure your guests will be impressed with this unique way of serving tea.
