Karashay

Karashay, translated from Tuvan means black tea-or tea without milk. We created a musical project where each musician can add their own color to the music. We are calling it 'add milk to the black tea' - make it tastier.
The only rule - the milk has to be fresh.

Süttüg-Shay (salty tea - süt means milk and shay is tea)

  • 1 litre water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon green tea
  • 1 litre milk

Boil the water, tea and salt together. Add the milk and boil again.

Remember, if you hand someone a cup of tea (or anything else, for that matter) to always use your right hand only.
Similarly, when accepting and drinking the tea, use your right hand.
Serve in small bowls or cups.
