Earl Grey Tea Butter
Often a blend of Assam and Nilgiri black tea fragranced with bergamot oil, Earl Grey tea begs to be mixed with delightfully creamy dairy. Needless to say, this earl grey infused butter was a natural kitchen combination that is best served slathered on toast. Be adventurous and use it to roast a chicken/summer vegetables, to fry an egg for a breakfast sandwich, or simply melt it over popcorn. If your sweet tooth is calling, bake it into your favorite treat that calls for butter.
INGREDIENTS
¼ pound unsalted butter, softened
¼ pound salted butter, softened
½ cup water, boiling
3 ½ teaspoons earl grey tea (2 for steeping and 1.5 dry)
2 teaspoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons orange zest
½ teaspoon lemon juice
Steep 2 teaspoons of earl grey tea in ½ cup boiling water for 5 minutes. Strain leaves and let cool to room temperature. While the tea cools, grind 1 ½ teaspoons of dry earl grey tea leaves with a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until fine. Soften the butter (but don’t melt it) and mix in honey, orange zest, lemon juice and the dry ground tea. Finally, mix in 3 tablespoons of the cooled earl grey tea until combined. Chill in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
Cooking with tea is that easy!
