Creative Ways to use Tea in your Cooking

If your recipe uses water, try using strongly brewed tea instead – cookies, breads, soups, marinades and stews are just some ideas where you could use this

If you’re looking for some unique ways to spice up your favorite dishes, look no further than your tea box! Tea adds a distinctive flavour to any preparation whether sweet or savoury; here’s some fun things to try:

• If your recipe uses water, try using strongly brewed tea instead – cookies, breads, soups, marinades and stews are just some ideas where you could use this
• Create your own unique dry rub for meats by adding ground black or green tea leaves into the mix. You can even use whole tea leaves as herbs.
• Steaming rice and veggies with green or black tea leaves adds both a deliciously light flavour and fragrance
• Add your favourite tea leaves to a smoker the next time you’re making smoked veggies or salmon. The tea leaves release their aroma as they burn and infuse some great flavours
• Steep tea in hot milk for an hour or two before using in recipes like ice cream, custard and pudding
• Freeze brewed tea into ice cubes and use them as substitutes in smoothie recipes. Make sure to use a robust brew so that the tea stands out against any strong flavours.
