On my first morning in Kathmandu, I was greeted with a typical Nepali breakfast of vegetable and potato soup, roti (fried, unleavened bread), fruit salad, and the most delicious milk tea I'd ever (and perhaps will ever) taste.
The Nepali breakfast is clearly very different from what I was use to in the US, but it was delicious, and filling, and easy to get use to.

May 26, 2011 at 1:32 pmLooks really delicious. I’m not a huge fan of cereals for breakfast, that looks much, much better! I wonder how they make the tea. I’ve lost the English habit of drinking it with milk, but I love chai teas, yet can’t recreate them properly at home!

May 26, 2011 at 1:34 pmI was in Nepal for three months last year and milk tea was part of my breakfast nearly every morning. Ever go to Flavors Cafe in Boudha Stupa while you were in Kathmandu? That was one of my favorite hangouts. Food was good, too.

January 5, 2012 at 9:10 pmThis is how I make my tea. First I boil milk and if you want you can add water. Let it boil and add sugar (amount? up to your own taste) then add lipton tea. I use two lipton tea bags for a cup of tea. Sometime I also add small piece of ginger and clove. Try it and see if you like it.

Dave says
November 21, 2012 at 5:43 amNow that you mention it Annie, I can’t recall eating Tibetan bread while I was in Nepal and northern India.
I did try the infamous Tibetan butter tea in Chengdu, China.
