About Buryat salted milk tea
Nogoon sai is a traditional Buryat tea made with milk and salt. JullS's version uses pressed green tea, with butter added to the cups alongside the salt.
The tea has a strong, astringent character softened by milk. Butter adds richness, while salt gives the drink its distinctive savoury finish.
The strained tea is served hot in cups, with a milky appearance and a buttery surface. It has a place in Buryat hospitality.
