Tea Sauce For White Fish Food

TEA SAUCE (FOR WHITE FISH)

Steps:

• Add the tea leaves to the water and cover. Steep for 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-steep, as prolonged heat chemically changes the tea and can result in bitterness. If you need stronger tea flavor, use more tea, not a longer steep time.
• Strain to remove tea leaves.
• Add remaining ingredients except oil and honey. Mix well and allow to to cool on the counter. Mix again and strain to remove peppercorns, garlic, and ginger.
• Add oil and honey. Mix well.
• The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated, although the olive oil will need to come to room temperature before using.
• Use to baste grilled, baked or pan-seared fish, as well as serving as a sauce. This is a thin sauce, so be careful not to soak the finished dish. It can also be served on the side as a dipping sauce, or over a rice side dish.
