Butter Tea
Butter Tea is a traditional beverage popular in the Himalayan regions, particularly among the Tibetan people. It is made by mixing brewed tea with clarified butter, usually from yak, and salt. The drink is known for its rich, creamy texture and is often consumed to provide energy and warmth in cold climates.
The preparation of butter tea involves churning the ingredients together in a special container called a chura. This process creates a frothy consistency. Butter tea is not only a staple in daily life but also plays a role in cultural rituals and hospitality among the Tibetan communities.
