Suutei tsai

Suutei tsai is a traditional Mongolian beverage. The drink is also known as süütei tsai, tsutai tsai, salt tea, or Mongolian salty tea. The ingredients to suutei tsai are typically water, milk, tea leaves and salt. A simple recipe might call for one quart of water, one quart of milk, a tablespoon of green tea, and one teaspoon of salt. However the ingredients often vary. Some recipes use green tea while others use black tea. Some recipes even include butter or fat. Milk in Mongolia is typically fresh, whole milk, and using half milk and half cream instead of only processed milk produces a rich beverage close to the authentic. The amount of salt in the tea is often varied. Another common addition to suutei tsai is fried millet.
