Smoking with tea - lildonner - 02-01-2012 10:45 PM I've heard this is an Asian/Chinese technique, has anyone ever smoked with tea leaves before?

RE: Smoking with tea - burma.girl - 02-02-2012 07:34 PM Several years ago the hubby saw a cooking show that featured smoked Peking Duck and he thought, "Why couldn't I do that with a turkey?" The smoke elements included black tea, cinnamon stick and star anise. For the tea, I think he ended up buying just garden-variety tea bags of Darjeeling or Ceylon and cut them open to mix the loose tea with the other ingredients. We have an electric smoker, which has a small shallow pan with a cover that you put your smoke elements (wood chips, spices, etc) in and place in a rack above the coils. I don't know the measurements he ended up using (he usually smokes a 16-18lb bird, so I'm guessin' the amount was "a lot"), but I do remember that there was a distinctive tea flavor to the finished meat, almost a refreshing sensation on the palate. I'm not sure how often he had to change out the smoke elements, though. [Now....was somebody passin' the kouchie 'pon the left hand side....? ![]() RE: Smoking with tea - lildonner - 02-03-2012 06:36 AM Thank you all for the comments, I've come across a few recipes and ideas, I going to try a couple of them, and keep you posted.
