Green Tea Marinated Cucumbers

Here the green tea works with sesame oil and rice wine vinegar as a low-oil dressing. This is a good relish with hot rice and grilled beef or tofu.

Green Tea Vinaigrette:

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 cup strong Celestial Seasonings Authentic green tea
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon shredded, dried seaweed, if available, OR 1 dash hot
pepper sauce
3 small cucumbers, sliced into chunks

Directions

To make green tea, pour hot but not boiling water over teabags and
steep for five minutes. Use one teabag for every 8 ounces (1 cup) of
hot water. Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients, and toss with
cucumbers. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Serves 2-4.
