Spiced Tea Rice Recipe


Spiced Tea Rice Recipe
For this rice, I was inspired by a dish I had at dim sum with a friend--chicken and rice steamed in a lotus leaf. It left a delicate, almost tea-like flavor. Add in a few spices I love for that extra kick and here's the result.

This sounds really good and interesting. What type of rice are you using? Basmati, Jasmine or just a long grain? I'd really like to give this a try. Thanks!


I used a medium grain rice because I prefer for mine to have a little more bite to it. If you are interested in a fluffier, more separated result long grain rice or jasmine will be your best bet. Just adjust water and cooking time accordingly!


Wow fantastic stuff great post thanks


I've had tea rice before, but this adds some yummy extra falvour!
