Traditionally made with a single bamboo segment, this churn has simple metal mounts at intervals.
Butter tea was made from tea leaves, boiling water, yak butter, and salt. The tea leaves would be boiled with water. The tea would then be tipped into a container such as this, and churned with salt and yak butter to make bhoja or Tibetan butter tea!
