Tourists visiting Lhasa, capital of Tibet would never miss the sweet tea caffs scattering about the city. Sweet tea has become a specialty drink of this noted historical and cultural city. And it also loved by many people travel to Tibet, even foriengers.

The tea is made from black tea, milk powder and white sugar. The making process is as follows:

(Note: The amount of the materials used in this article is as much as that needed for making 20 kilograms of sweet tea.)

The first step: to boil the black tea. Put 50g of tea in a cloth bag and boil the bag in boiling water for about five minutes. Then remove all the water from the bag and get the remains out of the bag.

Using the cloth bag is to filter the tea remains.

When boiled in water, the bag is carried and swayed.

The second step: put two kilograms of milk powder into the tea and stir it up. When the milk powder is added, froth will lather and the mixture should be stirred and slowly the froth will fade away.

The Third step: to add about 650g of white sugar into the tea and stir it up.

(Note: the mixture must be boiled, or you will feel swelled up after drinking.)

The forth step: to put 100g of black tea into the bag and boil it for five minutes in the mixture again.

The fifth step: all the processes are completed and the sweet tea is ready for drink. The tea can be filled into thermos to keep it hot.
