Sura butter tea

Traditionally, butter tea is made by boiling tea leaves in water until the tea is dark brown in colour. The tea is then strained and poured into a special butter churn, along with a large lump of yak butter and some salt, then churned until the butter and salt are well mixed. The tea is then transferred to a kettle, or to a thermos to stay warm as people take it with them on their walks around the mountains. Butter tea is served in a special cup and silver cup holder.
