I'm curious: is there any correlation between the perceived spiciness of a blend and the taseer, or is the designation based moreso on observations on when it is appropriate to eat them (e.g., someone noticed that it was better to eat something in winter, or people tended to eat something in winter and so designated the spice as having high taseer)?
Taseer is of anything, not exclusively only of spices. Warm milk raises body's temperature, so hot, so is mango fruits dipped in ice water. So is dry fruits eaten at room temperature. Cold milk with half water, and some ice cubes is of cold taseer. Mint drinks are cold, so if rubbing mustard oil on forehead & foot soles. Rubbing ghee or almond oil is hot taseer.
Taseer is not based on spiciness or taste, it is based on how one's body temperature changes after consuming that food.
