In the Kitchen

-  Drink it! or add sparkling water or juice to left over tea and chill.
- Use green tea to tenderise meat and can be either used in the marinade or add a cup to you stews or casseroles. You can also add green tea to soups for a different twist in flavour.
- Have fun with the kids and make marbled eggs. Hard boil eggs, crack the shells well but do not peel. Simmer in your favourite tea in a crock-pot for several hours. Allow to cool in the tea over night (refrigerate).  Again black tea may be more effective for this than green tea.
- Instead of using bicarbonate of soda to keep your fridge odour free how about using green tea.
- When making iced green tea how about making some ice cubes with a small amount of it for the next time you have iced green tea, or perhaps add some orange juice and sugar or honey to make healthy ice lollies for the kids.
- Use green tea to rehydrate dried fruits.
- Boil green tea in a cup inside a microwave and your microwave will be odour free.
- Protect your pans from rusting by rubbing cast iron pans with used loose leaf green tea.
- Smoke meat with dried used loose leaf green tea.
