From the longer Wikipedia page [1]

Noon chai (Kashmiri pronunciation: [nuːnɨ t͡ʃaːj]), also called Sheer chai (Kashmiri pronunciation: [ʃiːrʲ t͡ʃaːj]), Namkeen chai (Kashmiri pronunciation: [namkiːn t͡ʃaːj]), Kashmiri tea or Pink tea, is a traditional tea beverage, originating in Kashmir. It is made with gunpowder tea (green tea leaves rolled into small balls), milk and baking soda.

Noon chai is traditionally made from a type of green tea leaves, milk, salt, baking soda and usually cooked in a samavar.[6] A pinch of baking soda gives it a pronounced pink color. Sugar is not traditionally used in Kashmiri home recipes, although newer commercial preparations in Pakistani restaurants and tea stalls who appropriate Kashmiri cuisine, may include sweeteners.
