Hey Taomians,
Let’s be honest. Most people look at tea and see a cozy drink. But have you ever thought about cooking with tea?
As a creative person, I love finding new ways to incorporate tea into everyday recipes, and that’s exactly what I shared during my second feature on NBC LA Live!
I wanted to show people a completely different perspective on tea and all the possibilities that go far beyond its healing benefits.
Here are four tea-infused ideas I shared during the live feature:
1. ☕ The Muffin Trick
The next time you make boxed muffins or another baking mix, skip the water. Instead, use a warm cup of brewed Minty Cool Taomi Tea. It adds incredible flavor and fills your kitchen with a comforting aroma that feels like the holidays.
2.🍫 Next-Level Hot Cocoa
Rich chocolate paired with Minty Cool Taomi Tea is pure magic. Simply heat your milk with a cinnamon stick, a splash of vanilla, agave, and plenty of chocolate. The result is a cozy cup of joy that's perfect for chilly evenings.
3.🍍 Pineapple Tea Sangria
Tea can elevate your favorite cocktails, too! One of my favorite combinations is Daydreaming Taomi Tea, pineapple juice, white wine, frozen pineapple, and a touch of agave. It's refreshing, flavorful, and perfect for your next celebration.
4. 🍲 My Ultimate Healing Chicken Noodle Soup
Tea isn't just for desserts and drinks. During the segment, I also shared my personal Haitian-inspired twist on chicken noodle soup. Instead of using traditional chicken broth, I brew Daydreaming Taomi Tea and combine it with vegetable broth, chicken, carrots, cumin, and a touch of cayenne pepper. The result is comforting, flavorful, and nourishing.
💡 Tea Tip of the Week
Did you know tea can last anywhere from 2 to 4 years when stored properly? So don't toss those older tea blends. They're still perfect for experimenting in recipes and adding a unique twist to dishes you already love.
