Butter and tea are two of my favorite things! 🙂 This rich and flavorful drink is popular in Bhutan, especially during the cold winter months. The secret is to stir the tea vigorously/froth to blend and eliminate any the “greasiness.”
Ingredients:
All ingredients are to taste.
Hot water
Black Tea
Butter (preferably Yak butter, if available)
Milk or cream
Method:
1. Boil water. Add tea to desired strength. I like 1 teabag per cup.
2. Add butter and milk/cream to taste (about 1/4 tsp). Stir vigorously and drink immediately.
I think it is important to use a mug you really like. Here’s the one Keith picked out:
I dig it.
Here’s mine:
Let’s get started.
First, the water because it’s just oh, so pretty!
Then we’ll add a teabag and watch the goodness leach out, into the water.
And then, the magic… a bit o’ butter. Please use the real thing!
Milk and cream make everything better…
Stir it up…
You know what to do next. Smiles all around!
