Notecard Party~ Salt!

Himalayan Pink Salt

I had fun last month participating in Vee's Note Card Party~ Participants are asked to share four photos previously posted on their blogs that they think would make a nice note card set. I bet you can guess which theme I chose, right? You don't have to think too hard about it! Yup, tea! This time I've chosen salt.

But, wait for it..........there are places where Tibetans, Chinese and Kashmiris drink tea with salt! I'm not kidding. Tibetans and many Chinese people drink 'butter tea', which is made with tea leaves, yak butter and salt.

'Nun Chai', salted tea, is prominent in Kashmir and is a daily affair in the lives of Kashmiris. Kashmiris drink salt tea twice a day, in the morning for breakfast and then in the afternoon before dusk.

I sampled Persian Tea last week and posted photos of my experience drinking cardamom tea and sugar cubes, but I've never had Nun Chai with salt. I bet it tastes sort of like soup, as I hear it is thick and savory.
