Ingredients

  • 1 cup Roasted Barley Flour (Tsampa)
  • 2 tablespoons Dairy-Free Butter (Coconut or Vegan)
  • 4 cups Salted Tea (Black or Green)
  • 1-2 teaspoons Sugar (Optional)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Pour the 4 cups of Salted Tea into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 80°C. Do not let it boil.
  2. 2Add the 2 tablespoons of Dairy-Free Butter to the warm tea. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted.
  3. 3Slowly add the 1 cup of Roasted Barley Flour (Tsampa) to the saucepan, whisking constantly with a wire whisk. Continue whisking for 1-2 minutes to ensure there are no lumps and the mixture begins to thicken.

  5. 5If you prefer a sweeter porridge, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of Sugar until dissolved. Taste and add more sugar if desired.
  6. 6Serve the Dairy-Free Tibetan Tsampa Porridge immediately while hot.
