Made pfeffernusse and tea swirls for the stitch'n'bitch tomorrow. Used cherrywood-smoked cardamom in the pfeffernusse and they are strong! I'm almost out of Irish Breakfast tea now -- I really only use it for this recipe, which is cooked, diced onion mixed with tea and Worcestershire sauce made into a paste and rolled up in puff pastry dough before being sliced into savory cookies.

Wow, I've never seen tea used in a savory recipe before - how cool.

The Eat Tea! cookbook uses tea leaves as an ingredient in everything -- appetizers, main course, vegetable and side dishes, desserts, and of course, beverages.

One of these days I'm going to try the Lapsang Souchang gravlax, when I have money enough to buy a whole salmon filet.
