How do you make a perfectly spiced chai bread pudding?
I thought a chai bread pudding would be amazing. Soaking the stale, old bread in some strongly brewed chai; adding chai spices like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and ginger to the bread pudding itself to get that chai spice flavour. Below is my attempt at a chai flavoured bread pudding. Note that the amount of “chai spices” added is a personal thing. My goal is to always get the flavour of the tea somewhere in the recipe. The sauce recipe is modified from an existing bread pudding sauce recipe. It is a work in process and will continue to be refined as the desired strength of the chai flavour wasn’t quite there for me. However, there was hint of it.
Try this wonderful peach tea trifle recipe this summer
Trifles are a great, light dessert for the summer full of fruit and cream. It’s great in the summer because that’s usually when we get fresh fruit. This year peaches were really good so I tried a peach and strawberry trifle. Usually there is some alcohol in a trifle. The English are always trying to get some alcohol into their cooking where ever they can! All the tea and biscuits you associate with the English and not a lot of tea in their cooking. Strange. Anyway, I decided to use tea instead of alcohol in this recipe. Normally you’d soak the sponge cake in some kind of alcohol but in this recipe I decided to use tea. In this case I chose a Peach tea I bought this summer in PEI but any tea could be used! The idea is to get some tea flavour in there.
Try this beautiful tea infused fruit salad
I like fruit and berries in particular. But sometimes just eating fruit plain, while very enjoyable, can get tiresome. I found this great fruit salad recipe a few years ago that everyone I make it for, really enjoys. The addition of mint in particular seems to add a refreshing taste and reminder for people. The recipe is below and is from Once Upon a Chef in the references. My take on this would be the modified version where instead of orange or lemon juice added, a cold brew tea and tea leaves are added instead.
Try the delightful taste of this matcha tiramisu recipe
I’m not coffee drinker or lover so the coffee based desserts were never my favourite. This included well loved desserts liked Tiramisu. But, when this Matcha Tiramisu recipe was brought to my attention, I thought this may be worth trying. And I did! Very exciting results and yummy too!
How to make fish with matcha crusted with pistachio and panko
Sure, why not! I did a post not too long ago on “Can you cook with matcha?” and you can. If you look out there for recipes with matcha, there is a lot of baked goods and desserts that incorporate matcha in some way. The recipes and results are delicious! But how many baked goods and desserts can one person eat? While you’re thinking about that, I’ve been thinking about other ways to use tea in recipes besides desserts. My post on “Can tea be used in skin care products?” included some recipes for bath bombs, scrubs and body butters that included green tea and/or matcha. But I’ve been thinking more about how to incorporate tea into regular meals and dishes.
