"One thing leads to another, and you come back an hour later to find a cold cup of tea right where you left it. As if that weren't tragic enough, your tea might even be steeped so strongly that one sip has you puckering your lips. But wait: don't toss it down the drain just yet. Aside from repurposing it for iced tea, there are plenty of ways to use leftover brewed tea in the kitchen, amplifying the flavors of sweet and savory dishes alike."
"Of course, there are several recipes where tea leaves can add spectacular new dimensions to a dish. For instance, tea leaves can take compound butter to a whole new level. But for the purposes of this article, we will specifically focus on how to transform leftover brewed tea into intriguing dishes and provide suggestions suitable for black, green, white, and herbal teas."
Leftover brewed tea can be reused in many culinary applications instead of being discarded. Cold or over-steeped tea can be repurposed for iced tea or incorporated into sweet and savory recipes to enhance flavor. Brewed tea can be used to cook rice and other grains, substituting for some cooking liquid to impart spice or citrus notes, and it complements ingredients like apples, raisins, roasted cashews, or chicken. Different tea types—black, green, white, and herbal—offer distinct flavor profiles that suit varied dishes and preparations.
