Recipes with this ingredient
Jomba is a traditional Kalmyk tea with a deep history rooted in nomadic cultures. It combines the bitterness of green brick tea and the softness of milk, enriched with aromatic spices like bay leaf, nutmeg, black pepper, and badyan. The taste of this tea is multifaceted: first the softness of milk, then spicy notes, and finally a salty hint. A special ritual of pouring the tea 99 times makes it rich and harmonious. Jomba not only warms but also nourishes, helping to restore strength. It is served in large bowls with a piece of butter, adding even more depth to the flavor. This tea is perfect for cold days, creating coziness and warming the soul.
