Tibetans drink ghee tea, a cup of authentic ghee tea production methods are as follows:

First of all, the milk or goat's milk heating, heating, after the milk poured into a large wooden barrel, the Tibetans call this device Xue Dong. Then use a wooden stick to pump the milk hard, a **** to pump back and forth stirring hundreds of times, you will see the phenomenon of water and oil separation. On top of this bucket of milk would float a layer of yellowish grease.

Scoop out this part of the grease in a leather pocket, squeeze out the water can be left to cool, after cooling the grease will solidify again, this is ghee. To make traditional ghee tea in addition to the need for ghee, but also need to have Tibetan brick tea. First of all, use a knife to cut off a little bit from the top of the brick tea and set aside. Inside the pot with a small amount of water, wait until the water boils, then put the brick tea into the boiling water to cook. The color of the water will slowly deepen, until the tea becomes black, you can stop.

This time you can add a little bit of salt to flavor the discolored tea. If the temperature is low in winter, the amount of salt can be increased a little. Next, you can put a little ghee into the tea and stir well until all the ghee is melted.

Then use a strainer to filter out all the tea leaves, you can get a cup of pure ghee tea. So people who haven't had it before will think that ghee tea is sweet like milk tea, but in fact, authentic ghee tea is actually salty and savory. If a certain amount of salt has been added to the ghee when it is made, then this step of adding salt can be omitted when the tea is made.

The Tibetans actually carry ghee and ghee tea with them when they go out, especially when they are herding cattle and the temperature outside is relatively low, so they can drink a little ghee tea to warm up. The taste of ghee tea is more lubricating and dense, milk and tea are very heavy, after the mouth aftertaste, the aftertaste will stay in the mouth for a long time, long time does not dissipate, because of the fat contained in it, it is a necessary drink to fight the cold in winter.
