Spring is just around the corner and it will soon be time to tune up your grills for outdoor cooking. Here are a few tips that will allow you to incorporate gourmet tea, into your grilling experience.
Concentrated tea can be used as a marinade for the meat. This has dual benefits, it both flavors the meat and detoxifies the carcinogenic HCAs created during the grilling process. Drink loose leaf tea with the meal and further acts to detoxifies any HCAs created during grilling.
Tea can be used as a smoking agent. Throw dried tea leaves on the charcoal to smoke the meat and add flavor to the meal.
Tea can also be used as a spice rub for the meat and be part of any sauces or secondary dishes served during the meal.
Until next time – happy steeping.
