Oolong Sauce

I love cooking with tea. But always struggle to use Oolong instead of Green or Black teas. This is why I love this recipe for Oolong Sauce. It goes great with prawns as well as a tasty dressing for a chicken salad.

Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea produced through a unique process including withering under the strong sun and oxidation before curling and twisting. This tea sits nicely between green and black because of its unique in its abilities to deliver the strength of a black tea and the aromatic, flowery flavours of a green tea.

Ingredients

125ml/4½fl oz chicken stock

1 tbsp dry sherry

1 tbsp Tea Box oolong tea

1 tsp sugar

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Place all the ingredients in to a pan and bring to the boil and stir well. Have a taste and season with salt and black pepper.

Boil for one min, and then remove from the heat. Carefully strain away the liquid from the tea leaves and serve as a dressing or sauce.
