[edit] Ingredients
[edit] For the Filling
- 1 tablespoon loose tea leaves (preferably a smoky black tea)
- 1/4 cup half-and-half (or half cream and half milk)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt
[edit] Directions
Boil tea in 4 cups of water for about 10 minutes.
Remove from flame.
Remove the tea leaves from the liquid by pouring through a sieve.
Add half-and-half and butter to the strained tea.
Add salt to taste (tibetans like it very salty).
This will cool the tea, so warm it briefly over a low flame, making sure the tea doesn't boil.
For a frothy tea, pour it back and forth between two containers a few times.
