Teh talua

Teh talua, also known as teh telor, is a distinctive tea from West Sumatra, Indonesia, renowned for its incorporation of egg yolk. The tea can be made using either chicken or duck eggs, along with sugar and a dash of calamondin juice for a zesty kick.

Preparing this traditional drink is quite an art. First, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until it forms a smooth, creamy mixture. Meanwhile, prepare the tea by adding boiling water to tea leaves or powdered tea. Finally, combine the hot tea with the egg mixture, stirring thoroughly. For an added tanginess, you can squeeze in some calamondin juice to taste. Savor this unique and flavorful beverage!
