GHEE

Ghee is the clarified butter-fat obtained from buffalo or cow butter. It is widely used in the Punjab area of India for cooking, and amongst Punjabi cooks outside of India. The milk is boiled for an hour or so, and cooled, after which a little curdled milk is added. Next morning the curdled mass is churned for half an hour; some hot water is then added, and the churning continued for another half-hour, when the butter forms. When, after a few days, it becomes rancid, it is boiled until all the water is expelled, and a little more curdled milk added with some salt or betel-leaves, after which it is put into pots. In this state it will keep for a long time.

Gunpowder tea is a fine variety of green tea (often from China), each leaf of which is rolled into a pellet. Most Gunpowder tea is produced in Pingshui in Zheijian Province, China. After it has been withered it is steamed and rolled into small pellets without breaking the veins in the tea leaves. These are then dried.
