    That was very nice...quite informative! "Butter Tea" is an item in the Playrix game "Township". Since all of the game's "recipes" are very loosely based on actual dishes and beverages, I figured butter tea had to be a thing somewhere in the world; and, so it is!

    This drink inspired Dave Asprey's Bulletproof Coffee, which consists of coffee, mct oil (or coconut oil) and butter. Dave recommends using grass fed unsalted butter. Kerrygold makes some that is pretty widely distributed. Not only is the grass fed unsalted butter much healthier for you, but it greatly improves the flavor. I would strongly recommend the substitution.

    Shocked that there are no comments about this, but the video misstates how much water you need to boil: the recipe says 4 cups while the video says 2 cups. My friends noticed this discrepancy early on, and decided to go with the video. What we ended up with was comparable to creamy seawater. I know we probably should have followed the written recipe, but it's still a pretty big blunder.

    Well, did you add 2 teaspoons of salt or 2 tablespoons? Seriously, Thirsty For..., how is it that your videos are so well produced but you can't get the ingredients and/or instructions (usually the ingredients) consistent between the videos and the recipes? How are we supposed to make the drinks we see taste like they're supposed to taste if we can't figure out the proper amount of things? Other than that not-so-minor quibble, great job!

She remembers it as tasty and really useful, also because of the cold and the fat which serves like a lipbalm. Thank you for making me remember this story! Have nice holidays and see you next time!

    I am SO happy they did this butter tea and not butterbeer. I feel like there are enough "recipes" for butterbeer (if it can even be called that... it's just cream soda with a hint of butterscotch flavoring to it, you don't really need instruction for that). The latter drink is just too overrated, overdone, and not all that interesting. Mind you, I'm a Harry Potter fan myself and I'm saying this. I want to learn about something new and interesting from a culture that doesn't get enough notoriety. To me, this drink being chosen for the season finale represents what Thirsty For is mostly about! Anyway, looking forward to the next season! I hope Eric and his crew enjoy their break -- they've earned it. :)

    Tried this and it was delicious! The only thing I would change is to reduce the salt to 1/2 or less of the suggested amount, especially if using salted butter. The pu-erh really adds depth to the drink, and I recommend using Kerrygold butter - super rich and creamy! Next time I'm going to try making the Chaku.
