I decided to experiment last night. I love rice, but am always looking to inject more flavor into it. After dinner i was playing around and made a batch of rice, but instead of water I used Lapsang Souchong tea.
For those that are not familiar with that tea, it is a smoked tea that smells exactly like a campfire.
The rice came out great. i used white basmati and after cooking it was the color of brown rice. It had a wonderful smoky smell, but the taste was very subtle. i think it would go great with chicken or fish dishes. the flavor would not overpower even the most delicate of flavors, but the aroma would add a lot to many foods.
After this successful trial I will be trying other liquids instead of water. orange juice is on my list as well as other teas and maybe some sort of lemon juice/water mix.
