Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Drinks play an important role in Pashtun culture and are often shared among family, friends, and guests. Tea, in particular, is a central part of Pashtun hospitality and is served throughout the day. Pashtuns take great pride in their tea-making skills and often offer multiple cups of tea to guests as a sign of respect and hospitality.

Traditional Afghan tea, known as "قهوه" (qahwa), is a strong black tea brewed with cardamom and served with sugar. It is typically served in small glasses and may be accompanied by snacks such as nuts or pastries. In Pashtun culture, tea is not just a beverage but a symbol of friendship, warmth, and hospitality.

Apart from tea, fruit juices and milk are also popular drinks in Pashtun households. Freshly squeezed fruit juices, known as "مېوه جوس" (mewa juice), are especially refreshing during hot summer months. Pashtuns also enjoy traditional drinks like "شربت" (sharbat), which are sweet syrups made from fruits, flowers, or herbs. These beverages are often served during special occasions and celebrations.
