Last month I went to McLeod ganj and there are lots of memories of that place in my heart.from place to people ,market to restaurants all were amazing,one thing that was most memorable was the Butter tea or Tibetan tea I had there in McLeod ganj. This Tea tastes totally different from milk tea,black tea ,green tea or any other tea.At first when I took the first sip I felt is it really a tea because it taste little salty.Actually in Tibet this Tea is common and the way they prepared this butter tea is very long process,but not to worry as I have got the easiest way to prepare this butter tea or Tibetan tea directly from a Tibetan friend of mine from McLeod ganj.
