Kalmyk tea Jomba
Origin of the recipe
The famous Kalmyk tea is something between a drink and a soup. Unlike regular milk tea, so beloved by the British, this tea is boiled rather than brewed, with milk added during the brewing process. Ideally, it should be made from pressed brick tea—this form is convenient to carry with you when traveling. And instead of sugar, this tea is also served with... salt!
