Cooking with tea

Oct 27, 2003 4 Replies

Does anyone know a resource for tea recipes (that is, meals the preparation of which involves handling C. sinensis leaves)? I have some lapsang I'm wondering if I can do something with other than drink.

Coincidentally, in a conversation with a couple of students the day before yesterday, one from Taiwan and one from Shanghai, they mentioned the custom of cooking "tea eggs," which is nothing more than boiling the eggs in a strong tea. The tea flavor seeps through the shell right into the eggs. Cool; if you like eggs, that is.

Charles,

A good place to look is Google Groups,

Go there and find; rec.food.baking rec.food.cooking rec.food.recipes

Do a search on each for tea and you will find lots of discussions. I did a lot of research there before I found this group.
