Chai as we all know is an integral part of Indian culture and food. Life without chai for me is unimaginable. So thought of sharing with you this masala chai recipe.
Me being a tea lover who loves to explore new variations now n then,just came across this Buransh tea.
One of my pahadi friends introduced me to this tea.A very popular tea with locals of Uttarakhand and Tibet.
Himalayan ranges being abode to many treasures some are known and some are yet to be discovered. Rhododendron flowers grows 4000 metres above sea level especially in Uttarakhand.
From May to June
This flower holds a lot of medicinal properties.
Helps in digestion, reduces fever and swelling in abdomen.
A bright red bell shaped flower.The wood is used in making artefacts. The smoke released by burning of Buransh’s is said to be purifying the Himalaya’s.These flowers are handpicked and dried to retain their properties.
Buransh is considered sacred by the locals here.
Did you know Nepal’s national flower is Rhododendron flower.They are called ‘Laali Guraans’
Coming to the recipe,here the petals of these flower are sun dried and stored in an air tight container.To enhance the taste of this tea do add some basil leaves to them.
Brewing this tea is quite simple,boil water with sugar and buransh petals ,off the flame add half tea spoon of green tea cover with a lid for few seconds,strain and serve.
Let’s get a cup of Buransh Tea

This tea is available at all online portals as well.
I switched to green due to health issues or you can say diet😀 jokes apart ,but drinking green tea is a healthy option as it has antioxidants in them and if you have digestion problems do drink green tea. Me being a huge tea addict or you can say i love exploring different flavours.
There are many who won’t like the flavour of this tea instantly, it takes time to start loving this tea.
So the recipe that I am sharing today is Green tea
