It is no small irony that Asian tea has become the go-to beverage to revolutionize the European-U.S. cheese flight. We offer a beginner’s guide of pairing teas from China, Japan, Taiwan, Ceylon, and India with cheese selections from the dairy producers of Great Britain, The Netherlands, Italy, France, and the U.S. (Yes, India does offer paneer, but it’s a modest cheese producer.)

Cold brewed iced tea is as simple as ‘sun tea’ but better. There’s no risk of microbes developing as the product sits in the hot sun for hours at a time. However, the principle is the same. You’re eschewing the kettle along with the hot water to brew tea.

Is it tea time or beer thirty? If you enjoy a frosty mug of beer just as much as a relaxing cuppa, then you might answer "both" when you try a tea-infused beer. A number of craft beer breweries around the world have been experimenting with adding tea to their brews in recent years...

Tea: the infusion of dried leaves into water. It is as we've always understood it to be, a decoction of the tea plant into hot liquid. But when you take the leaves of the tea plant (or an herb, spice, root etc.) and place them into something other than water, say, a spirit such as vodka, you open a pandora's box of possibility.

The luxury and elegance of chocolate make it a natural for gift-giving all-year round, but especially on the day of love, February 14th.

Around this time every year, I start thinking of new ideas for homemade treats to bring as hostess gifts for holiday parties or giving to friends and neighbors. It's difficult to bake for everyone because of specific dietary needs, but I've discovered tea infused vodka or gin is a hit!

Whatever it's called during this significant year, the Jewish Festival of Lights, Chanukah, has the unique position to begin Wednesday, November 27, and end December 5, making the first day of this holiday the same as American Thanksgiving Day, November 28.

As an English Rose, I do love a cup of tea- especially alongside a plate of biscuits to dunk, a slice of toast laden with homemade marmalade or a piece of delicious cake. I have always liked the idea of tea loaf and teacake, but sought to recreate the recipe with no fruit added. After searching high and low for a decent recipe with no such luck, I (in)fused two recipes of my own.

The iced tea popsicle is so simple to make and, with all the choices of ice cube shapes and sizes, you can really have fun with this. You may even make Arnold Palmer popsicles, which combine lemonade with iced tea. Arnold Palmers are refreshing, great for kids or adults, and if you want to spike yours with liquor, it accommodates that, too. In other words, the perfect summer party drink is the Arnold Palmer!

Whether it’s Independence Day, birthdays, or “just because it’s summer”, nothing is easier or more delicious than iced tea to accompany barbecues, elegant picnics or family celebrations.

Does tea in China have alcohol in it? Because on my last visit, I drank some tea and got really hyper.

As a self-proclaimed chef and aficionado of all things culinary, I am always looking for new recipes, different flavors and fresh ideas. One night, while pondering the nightly question, "what's for dinner?" over a cup of tea, I was struck with inspiration. Looking into my steaming brew, I had a revolutionary idea: tea... in food.

Any occasion is a perfect occasion to celebrate with a tea party, whether it's for your sweetie pie, your family, or your best friends. It can be simple or elaborate, American or English (or totally international) with only one caveat: Serve the best tea you can afford!

Cooking with tea is as old as the history of tea itself. Fruits and spices continue their historical position of flavor enhancers for tea as a beverage and in cooking: Lychee or osmanthus (an orange relative) in Chinese teas; cherry in Japanese greens; garam masala, the heady combination of aromatics such as cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, clove, nutmeg, and lemongrass, in east Indian teas.

Exploring the world of connoisseur-level teas is as intoxicating as that other beverage: Wine. For wine lovers, the current fashion is not to insist that whites pair up with poultry nor drink only reds with meat. This has led to many adventuresome pairings and new taste sensations.
