Tibetan Butter Tea

== Ingredients ==
* 1 tablespoon loose tea leaves (preferably a smoky black tea)
* ¼ cup half-and-half (or half cream and half milk)
* 1 tablespoon butter
* salt
== Directions ==
# Boil tea in 4 cups of water for about 10 minutes.
# Remove from flame.
# Remove the tea leaves from the liquid by pouring through a sieve.
# Add half-and-half and butter to the strained tea.
# Add salt to taste (Tibetans like it very salty).
# This will cool the tea, so warm it briefly over a low flame, making sure the tea doesn't boil.
# For a frothy tea, pour it back and forth between two containers a few times.
