Cooking with Tea

Discover the delicious complexities of tea by trying some of these cooking suggestions at home.

Infusions

Tea is great to infuse flavor into sweet and savory dishes. Use alone, or in combination with oil, broth, water, cream or any other cooking liquid. Green Tea with Honey adds a particularly delightful taste to rice.

Tea Cocktails

Turn lots of different flavored teas into fun, jazzy cocktails, with alcohol. Tea has become a popular ingredient in many drink recipes thanks to its pleasant, yet light, fruity and crisp flavor notes and balance. Tea mixes well with lighter spirits as well as wine and sparkling wine.

Non-Alcoholic Tea Beverages

Tea provides a variety of flavor combinations for creating non-alcoholic beverages, too. Make your own virgin mojitos, martinis and mimosas. Or try refreshing smoothies, frappes and sparklers.

Marinades

Tea is the perfect ingredient to be used in subtle marinades for light dishes like fish and chicken.

Syrups

Transform tea into a flavorful glaze or sauce by simply sweetening and simmering to a reduction. Pair with fruit, cake or ice cream, serve over delicate savory dishes like fish and chicken or try it on salads in place of dressing.

Frozen

Tea makes a great base for sorbets, granitas and simple ice pops. Try freezing your favorite tea as an ice cube for a fun twist!
