This is a very unique flavored tea. It is made with cinnamon sticks, cardomoms, green tea/saffron. Sarah aunty is ‘cool’. She listens to Kelly Clarkson. 
She has a lovely house, and its huge! She is a fantastic cook. We had been to their house on the weekend, and we made her make Kehva(special kashmiri tea) after dinner. I took down the recipe, so here it is.
For 4 servings
Ingredients:
6 green cardomoms,
2-3 cinnamon sticks about 1 inch in size,
1 tsp green tea (or saffron a couple pinches for decaf kehva)
7-8 whole black pepper (its great in winters, or when sick)
4 big cups water
In a pan, boil the water, and the spices for about 5 minutes or more, if you prefer stronger taste of the spices. Then add the green tea and boil additional 5 minutes.
Pour into transparent cups preferably, it has a beautiful color. Also for garnishing, you may add chopped almond.
Note: When using saffron, add it at the beginning with the spices. No green tea is required for this method. It is a herbal tea.
