Fifty or more years ago in the Northwest Frontier area of Pakistan and
adjacent Afghanistan, I was often served "chai sorkh" meaning "red tea" that
was actually green tea with added milk that was whipped until it became
pink. I think a dash of baking soda had something to do with the color
change. Can anyone straighten out my senile memory?

I have seen red chai and green chai in the health food stores. Don't know
about them "changing" though.
