Green tea vinaigrette
Tea in a vinaigrette, can it be? Yes of course, and it's delicious too, so why not give it a try?
For this vinaigrette, we prefer green tea, the leaves are rich in flavor and will give your vinaigrette a unique fragrance. Be careful with the brewing time, however, leaves steeped for too long can make your vinaigrette bitter and too strong.
The ingredients
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar or red wine
½ tsp. honey or maple syrup
4 tbsp. infused green tea
1 C. finely chopped shallots
Salt and pepper
Preparation
Start by steeping green tea for 5 minutes in hot water. Once the tea has brewed, discard the leaves. Let cool to room temperature.
In a container, add the oil, vinegar, honey, shallots, and 4 tablespoons of brewed tea. Mix everything well, salt and pepper to your liking.
To be declined as you wish
