Buttered Tea

Buttered tea is the most common drink in Tibet. People always treat their guests with buttered tea. The tea is made up of brick tea and ghee and usually served with tsamba ( made of grined barley ). Because brick tea facilitates the digestion process, it has to go with ghee or milk to allay the sense of hunger.

酥油茶

酥油茶是藏家待客所必备的饮料，由砖茶和酥油组成，多作为主食与糌粑（磨碎的青稞制成）一起食用。因为砖茶会刺激胃酸的分泌，加速消化过程，所以它必须加入酥油或牛奶来缓解饥饿感。
