Oh hey
Oh hey FridgeCam
Here at SortedFood, we love tea
Don't we James?
We do.
In fact, there's even a blog on SortedFood.com
about times tea saved the day
So off the back of that, we were inspired to bring
tea
three ways
to you
this morning
Now it's fair to say tea is a big deal here
at Sorted.
and I only know how to make the perfect tea
but I'm here with Mr T himself today
I pity the foo'
to help me up my tea game
well Mr Taylor, you have come to the right place
cos i have three terrific tea's to tantilize your taste buds
of your tremendous tea mates
and how are we teaing off?
with Chai.
tea
No, Chai Tea, that would be 'tea tea'
it's just Masala Chai
Chai.
so this recipe is simple
it's a warm, sweetened milky drink
with black tea and Indian spices
and here's how to make it
simply pour the milk into the saucepan with
with two teabags. I've gone for Darjeeling
then add caster sugar
and your spices.
a cinnamon stick, cloves, black peppercorns,
ground ginger, and cardomom pods
exotic
heat to a gentle simmer
remove it form the heat and leave to steep
for 10 minutes
pour through the sieve to get rid of the spices
and serve!
Like this?
Just like that
and the great thing about Masala Chai is
there's no rule set recipe
every family and region have their own
so I claim this the Sorted Family Masala Chai
Time for tea two!
Tea one was hot, so tea two is cold
a Pear and Ginger Iced Tea
Stick one, two teabags into a teapot
top up with boiling water
and leave to steep for 10 minutes
pluck out those tea bags and allow the whole thing to cool
in a glass with ice cubes,
pour some juice from a tin of halved pears
then take root ginger that's peeled and
grate it as fine as possible
scoop that in and top up with tea
one stir, and you can serve!
like this? just like that.
oh! wasn't expecting that were you
this has never happened before
not at all, we're gonna really quickly run you through all the things we've been doing this week
let's do it!
Tuesday's recipe, hit me
Tuesday's recipe was Tabbouleh with Dukkah-crusted Chicken
the thing that's great about Dukkah is that
it's a wonderful replacement for breadcrumbs
if you ever get sick of breadcrumbs on your chicken
On Friday, we made Caramel and Apple Dutch Baby Pancakes
look at them
can you imagine how that tasted?
Mike
Yes?
you've given me a Comment Of The Week
I've given you one cos it was great
okay, the comment is from this recipe,
m i s s i s s i p p i m u d p i e
and syrinx32 says
just in case anyone wants to make a different size...
because they don't have a 23cm cake tin like me
here's the conversion
formula from any size to any size
that was a wonderful, wonderful comment
cool, well we got through that and now let's end this
tea break for another tea break
and how about tea three?
tea one was hot, tea two was iced, tea three is herbal and magical
it's blue mallow tea
take one tablespoon of dried blue mallow flowers and
tip into a teapot diffuser
top up with boiling water and leave to steep for a minute or two
it's turquoise
which begins with tea two
pour it into a cup and now for the magic
squeeze in a little lemon juice and
that's not natural, what colour's that?
and season to taste with a drizzle of runny honey
and serve!

Just like– you're getting good at this
i'm relaxed
spiritual healing, peaceful and soul saving
is that what it is? very so.
so there's three teas, but we'd love to know from you
what you think of our teas and in fact how you drink tea from where you're from
from where you're from
that works, let's go with that
tea-rific.
well, i think that FridgeCam had everything
i think so too
it had colour changing tea,
it had Mr T,
it had Chai
and it had a wonderful blog that you need to go to
SortedFood.com to read
i'm going there right now
excellent, let's do that. have a happy rest of your Sunday
goodbye!
