Day 15 TeaCoupGlobal 2016 Series #3 Tibetan butter tea — po cha — is an acquired taste, since it is salty rather than sweet, and has a completely unexpected flavor. Many non-Tibetans don’t care for it much at first, but come to love it when it is associated with warmth on a cold day and good times spent with Tibetan friends, or the adventure of travel in Tibet or Tibetan communities in India or Nepal. Some non-Tibetans find it helpful to think of it as a sort of light soup rather than as tea. The main ingredients are - black tea , salt,butter, water and milk.( Yowangdu) #teacoup #tea #wanderingsilk#buddhist#tea#chai#ayurveda#photography#yogi#meditate#monk#strength#life#onelove#recipe#sacredlessons#teacoupglobal

Day 11 TeaCoupGlobal 2016 - series #3 I believe in the magic of preparation. You can make just about any foods taste wonderful by adding herbs and spices. Experiment making your own Chai -with cinnamon, cardamon, ginger,black pepper, nutmeg, star anise, fennel, tulsi, mint, saffron, turmeric, ajowan and licorice. Don't have the same cup of spices and herbs everyday- changed it as "variety is the spice of life, that gives it all the flavour" ( pic Brett Cole - Vikas Project #wanderingsilk #teacoupglobal
