Five Ways to Cook with Organic Tea

by Jennifer on August 4, 2009

Organic tea leaves can make your meals healthier AND tastier!  Let these antioxidant powerhouses out of the tea tin and they’ll enhance everyday dishes with vibrant flavors from smokey to herbal.

  1. Cover a one pound roast with 1/4 cup of black tea leaves, 1/4 cup of garlic, 1/4 cup of chipotles, and 2 tablespoons of curry spices
  2. Use 1/2 cup of fully brewed English Breakfast tea to deglaze a pan of sauteed mushrooms and the result is a deliciously rich and tasty sauce
  3. Sprinkle a few Darjeeling tea leaves over raw fruits or vegetables for added zest
  4. Instead of using beef, chicken or vegetable stock, use brewed tea. White tea is perfect for clear broth soups and lighter sauces, but, use Oolong and black tea for beef based sauces and soups.
  5. Boil rice in green tea instead of water. The healthy result is so wonderfully tasty you’ll skip the butter, oil and salt.
