Mongolia milky tea
Mongolian plateau is the hometown of nomadic people and the birthplace of milk tea. At first, the most authentic one was Mongolian milk tea. Mongolians mainly live in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and some neighboring provinces and districts. Mongolian herders mainly eat cattle, mutton and dairy products, supplemented by grain and vegetables.
Brick tea is an indispensable drink for herders. Drinking salty milk tea cooked from brick tea is a traditional tea drinking custom of Mongolian people. In pastoral areas, they are used to "three teas and one meal a day". Therefore, drinking salty milk tea, besides quenching thirst, is also a main way to supplement human nutrition. Every morning, the first thing a housewife does is to cook a pot of salty milk tea for the whole family to enjoy all day.
Mongolians like to drink hot tea. In the morning, they eat fried rice while drinking tea, and warm the remaining tea on a low fire so that they can drink it at any time. Usually, a family only grazes and goes home at night before having a formal meal, but it is generally indispensable to drink salty milk tea three times in the morning, at noon and at night.
The salty milk tea that Mongolians drink is mostly blue brick tea or black brick tea, and the cooking utensils are iron pots. When boiling salty milk tea, you should first break the brick tea, put the washed iron pot on the fire, hold 2 ~ 3 kilograms of water, and add 50 ~ 80 grams of broken brick tea when the water just boils. When the water boils again for 5 minutes, add milk, the amount of milk is about one-fifth of that of water, stir a little, and then add a proper amount of salt.
When the whole pot of salty milk tea begins to boil, put a small amount of fried rice in it, and then it will be boiled and served in a bowl.
