• First, boil 2 cups of water
• Add tea to the pot, when water starts to boil. And bring down to a simmer, for 3-5 minutes. Traditionally, the tea is simmered for hours and made into a concentrate (Called Chaku). but you can still get its unique flavour out of a shorter brew.
• Add salt and cream (if you don’t have cream, add some Milk powder and stir together, bringing back to a simmer
• Add butter and churn it. ( traditionally we use Dongmo to Churn it. but nowadays every household and restaurant in Lhasa are using the blender.) Or you can use a good ole’ French Press.
• In the blender or French press add the butter, and then pour your tea. and Churn for two to three minutes.
