Aside from Lemon Tea, Nepali Tea, Chai and the infamous butter tea, the inhabitants of the Himalayas frequently mix their tea with various other drinks. One of the more popular ones in the Nepali Himalayas is Rum Tea, where you mix the national favorite, Khukri Rum with black tea and add a few tea spoons of sugar for good measure.

Needless to say, this is a potent brew and not to be recommended for high altitude, although a good reward after a grueling trek or climb! Kick back with your local Gurung, Tamang or Sherpa friends and give yourself a warm treat!

Lemon Tea in the Himalayas

Nepal is home to some of the tallest peaks on the face of the planet, including Mount Everest, Makalu and Annapurna. Aside from being a destination for hardcore climbers, Nepal is also a paradise for trekkers of all kinds and stripes but no matter how much I would like to include myself in the former category, I am firmly rooted in the later. Trekking is typically hard work, even when doing the so-called easy ones, as Nepal is a very hilly country indeed. After a long day of sweat, blisters and insect bites (or frostbite if you are at a really high altitude), the thing to really look forward to is a cup of hot Lemon Tea.

Lemon Tea

This is typically made from one part lemon juice, a few spoonfuls of sugar and whatever bag tea that is available. It is not for the aficionado, but it is a well-deserved treat at the end of a grueling of day of hard work!
