6 Steamy, Sexy Ways to Eat and Drink Tea

From my steamy love affair with hot green tea, I've been searching for ways to eat it.  In honor of National Tea Month, here are some sexy, savory dishes with tea (plus, a bonus drink recipe) that are smoking hot...

1) Tea-Smoked Beef Tenderloin with Pear Salad
Steak Love: It sounds fancy but all you do is mix tea leaves with brown sugar and rice and smoke the steak in a pan.  Easy, huh?



2) Green Tea Tamarind Marinated Tofu with Vegetables
Vegetarian Love: If you’re trying out vegetarianism this year, add this recipe to the list. It’s in line with your new resolutions and really elevates tofu. 



3) Fiery Tea-Smoked Chicken Appetizer
Want to impress your friends with a sexy app? This takes a little extra time but the smoky flavor from the tea and the tang of the ginger and soy make it all worth it.


4) Tea Spiced Pork Chops
If you want to infuse more flavor into your pork chops, this recipe will rock your world.  Fresh spearmint, sage and garlic will bring your taste buds to the tea dance.


5) Chocolate Black Tea Cake
Black tea, hazelnut, cocoa...need I say more?

6) Cinnamon Lemon Tea

To wash it all down, try this hot tea upgrade with comforting cinnamon to warm your nights.

7) Bonus: Green Tea Bath Salts

It gives new meaning to drinking someone's bath water, wait... no, that's still gross.  This soothing soaker encases you in a mixture of  tea, rosemary, and epson salt, all in a Chai-perfumed bath.

How do you like your tea?
