Cooking with Tea: The Original Glazed Porkchop

As some of you already know, the marketing tea’m recently had a potluck [or "tealuck" as we like to call it] with cuisine that was made with Sweet Leaf Tea! It was a fantastic evening of dining, drinking, and conversing (not about work). It was hosted by the amazing @SweetLeafCharla, at her crib.
I decided I wanted to make something I haven’t had in a while, PORKCHOPS!!! So, I created [drum roll please {trumpets trumpeting}] ” The Original Glazed Porkchop” [#teasnacky] recipe below:
Items needed:
- 6 boneless porkchops (1/3in thick)
- 2 16oz bottles of Original Sweet Leaf Tea
- 2 Lemons
- Salt
- Pepper
- 3 sandwich sized Ziplock bags
1st – Season porkchops with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Place 2 porkchops in each ziplock bag. Pour 5 ounces of tea in each ziplock. Squeeze lemon juice from the lemons into all bags. (the acidity will breakdown the meat allowing the tea marinade to mingle better with the chops) Seal bags, place in fridge, and flip bags every 3 hours for 12 hours.
2nd – Pour second bottle of Sweet Leaf Original in a large saucepan. Bring to boil. Boil tea until it reaches a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes or so. (Look at you, you just made a tea glaze, or concentrate!) Pour into a container and leave on counter top until it reaches room temperature.
3rd – Fire up the grill to medium/high heat, unpack the porkchops, and toss them on. Grill porkchops for about 3 1/2 minutes on each side. Brush on tea glaze, cook for an addition minute and a half on each side, glazing the opposing side. Then take them off the grill and enjoy.
They were delicious. I complemented mine with a glass of sweet white wine.
Stay tuned. More recipes to come from the rest of the tea’m. Until then, keep it realz ya’ll.
