    BEIJING, Nov. 25 -- When visiting Lhasa, you will never miss sweet tea caffs, which embody Tibetan folk-custom most.

    Scattered around Lhasa, sweet tea caffs provide their customers with not only the sweet tea but also the Tibetan culture.

    The process of making sweet tea is not complicated at all: adding milk powder and white sugar into boiling Tibetan tea. However, you will get "drunk" after having the sweet tea as you will be indulged in the sweet tea caffs, which are dubbed as "business cards" of Lhasa.
