做法
- 茶壶或厚平底锅中放入散装绿茶、拍裂的豆蔻、肉桂段、丁香和(若用)藏红花。
- 倒入沸水浇在茶叶和香料上。浸泡5分钟。
- 加糖搅拌至溶化。再泡2分钟——阿富汗绿茶要泡得浓且甜。

- 饰以杏仁片,或几缕藏红花漂浮顶上(若用)。
- 趁热饮用。可配甜点、干果或单独享用。阿富汗茶馆将绿茶作为浓郁餐后的消食饮。

文化背景
阿富汗绿茶是阿富汗茶馆(chai khana)下午和傍晚的饮品——茶馆是阿富汗城镇与乡村中非正式的社区中心。这道饮品源自中亚-波斯传承;绿茶通过丝绸之路从中国传到阿富汗。如今阿富汗人在家里、办公室和祈祷间隙都会喝绿茶。糖的用量不容置疑;不加糖的阿富汗绿茶就不是这道饮品了。
