Cooking with Tea

Tea isn't just for drinking! 

Try these creative ways to bump up the flavor in common recipes:

• Instead of vanilla, grind your favorite tea into powder, then add to sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or snickerdoodles.
• Add ground tea to baked goods such as cakes or brownies (e.g. peppermint). 
• Sprinkle into stir-fry. The leaves unfurl and become toasted.
• Use as a rub on beef, pork or even chicken.
• Make tea butter, by letting the butter soften, then mix in whole or ground tea.
• Replace stock with tea when cooking grains like rice, barley, or quinoa.
• Replace stock with tea when cooking pasta or dumplings.
• Add ground tea to chicken noodle soup (homemade or store bought).
• Steep chicken breasts in tea, then bake. Or poach chicken in tea, then shred.
• Reduce into a savory glaze.
• Stir tea into your yogurt, or use a tea-maple drizzle over pancakes or waffles.
• Whip ground tea into your buttercream frosting.
