Cooking w/ Tea
Does anyone have a good tea infused creme brulee recipe?
Sorry I missed this post. I get too busy writing to stop by sometimes. Here is a creme brulee recipe from the Tea Spot Chef. http://www.examiner.com/x-12909-Tea-Examiner~y2010m2d10-Meditative-Mind-Creme-BruleeA-Tea-Spot-Chef-Valentines-Day-Recipe
www.chaico.com has some recipes.
I just found out about Chai Co. (and added their two blends to the database) after reading this sad entry on the “T Ching” blog: http://www.tching.com/2010/05/so-long-my-brother-my-trusted-friend/
I am really curious to try their chai though after reading the description of how it came about and how popular it was in their shop.
Jeez Louise, so many tea companies, so little time. I need to send out some sort of mass E-mail so I can get them to contact me when they have sales. I cannot keep up with all these companies.
I made one of those Betty Crocker Warm Delights microwave brownie things w/ Fat Free Smart Balance milk instead of the water (they suggest using Bailey’s instead of the water so I assumed the milk would work). After finding out it worked really good I’m gonna steep chai in the milk next time!
For all you tea/food lovers, here’s a new recipe competition by DoMatcha:

Has anyone tried infusing lapsang souchong tea in the milk for mac ‘n’ cheese? I’d love to use Harney & Sons’ lapsang souchong cheese, but just plain tea is easier for me to get my hands on:)
No, but it is a marvelous idea. I assume you do not mean the mac and cheese in that comes in a box. I make a white sauce then add the cheese, but simmering a cheesecloth bag of lapsang souchong in the milk before adding the cheese sounds very good. One could also cook the macaroni in tea-infused water.
Mkstuder- As I do not have any lapsang souchong cheese I actually was thinking of steeping it in milk before adding it to the boxed version. But yeah, if I had the cheese I’d definitely make it from scratch as the boxed version doesn’t need any added. Possibly adding a ground spice mix to bread crumbs for a topping if you make baked mac ‘n’ cheese?

Does anyone have a recipe for blackberry sage tea jam? I’d prefer to make it myself than buy it from Republic of Tea.
You should be able to come up with something close by combining a couple of recipes. You could use the Republic of Tea blackberry sage tea with this Basic Tea Jelly recipe:

Or you can make your own Blackberry Sage tea using this recipe and substituting sage for the mint.

Be sure to let us know how it goes.
Ok, I keep forgetting to add this recipe, It is a great one for winter. And makes alot.
Add the following to 1 gallon of water
3/4 Cup sugar
1 Tbls. Whole Allspice
3 whole sticks of Cinnamon
heat until sugar disolves
2-3 cups of water to boil then steep 5 tea bags (black) then add to the mixture above
then add 1 6oz. can of undiluted frozen lemonade, orange juice & apple juice
simmer and serve, the longer it simmers the more all the flavors blend. It is great on cold winter days.

I am going to try marinating chicken in lapsang souchong; I hope it goes over with my family. They are one fussy lot, not sense of taste imagination.
