Salted teas and coffee
To us, the Europeans, for some reason it never occurs that tea can be salted. Well, it's not our custom! We poured tea, except, once or twice in childhood - to play a trick on a friend in the school cafeteria. Glutting the tea, sprinkled with salt, the friend, of course, frowned and refused to "treat" refreshment - it was tasteless. But, it turns out, the tasteless salty tea does not seem to everyone. For example, in Tibet green tea is always drunk with salt - this drink perfectly quenches thirst. It is customary to salt tea among the Kirghiz, and among the Mongols, and among the Kalmyks.
Maybe we should try these amazing drinks - salty teas? Suddenly like it? But since we decided to change the usual salt to our sea dishes in our dishes, then in tea recipes we will use sea salt: from this our teas will become even more useful.
