Mongolian tea called suutei tsai is served with nearly every meal. The tea is served in small bowls as opposed to cups. The tea is made with green tea, milk, water and salt. Yes, salt! I thought it was so strange at first that salt would be added to tea, but it was actually quite good. Of course the amount you use is up to you. We enjoyed the tea with our really good Mongolian feast, enjoy!
