Start with fresh cow milk to make organic butter at home.

Pour the cow milk into a pot and heat it gently until it begins to simmer.

Once simmering, stir the milk continuously until it thickens and separates into curds and whey.

Strain the curds from the whey using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Gather the curds and knead them to form butter, adding a pinch of salt for flavor.

In a separate pot, boil water and add eggs to cook them.

Cook the eggs for about 8-10 minutes until hard-boiled, then remove them and place in cold water to cool.

Chop fresh tomatoes and greens into small pieces.

Mix the chopped tomatoes and greens in a bowl with a sprinkle of salt.

Serve the organic butter alongside the boiled eggs and fresh salad on a platter.

Pour hot tea into cups and serve.
