Zabaykalye tea

About

Here, tea is often prepared with milk. No feast in Zabaykalsky Krai is complete without tea. A popular local variety is zherebchik tea. Dry black tea is placed into a teapot, then it is filled with cold water and hot stones are added, for example basalt or quartz. This brewing method was traditionally used by hunters when they were deep in the taiga.
