To make Tibetan butter tea, also known as "su you cha," you will need the following ingredients and steps:

Ingredients:
- Black tea leaves
- Water
- Yak butter or unsalted butter
- Salt
- Milk (optional)

Steps:
1. Boil water in a pot.
2. Add black tea leaves to the boiling water and let it steep for a few minutes.

4. Add yak butter or unsalted butter to the tea. The amount of butter can vary depending on your preference, but traditionally, a generous amount is used.
5. Add a pinch of salt to the tea. This helps enhance the flavor.
6. Optional: Some recipes call for adding milk to the tea for a creamier texture. If you choose to do so, add milk at this step.

8. Serve the butter tea hot in small cups or bowls.
