The Daring Kitchen -- Cooking with Tea

Sarah from Simply Cooked was our November Daring Cooks’ hostess and she challenged us to create something truly unique in both taste and technique! We learned how to cook using tea with recipes from Tea Cookbook by Tonia George and The New Tea Book by Sara Perry.

I decided to search the Internet for other recipes for my project and found where several people use tea for smoking meat. I did a smoked chicken breast using Assam tea, brown sugar and wild rice in a homemade foil stovetop smoker. The breast ended up with a really dark brown outside with a very smoky flavor that was unique. For plating, a light sauce was made using the same tea, raisins and brown sugar.

My pictures will uploaded later. Having technical difficulties.
