I never tried to have rice cooked with tea before. I know that tea is healthy for you to drink everyday. I cook my rice with water too. I even tried to eat brown rice and find it a little bit harder and more filling than the white rice.

Oh this is one of my favorite ways to cook rice. Especially for sweet rice dishes such as puddings.

That sounds like a really good idea and I will have to try it. I have used tea to cook other things and it really helps with flavor. Depends on the type of tea and so forth but it is pretty good. Some herbs mixed in might make it real different and tasteful as well. It will interesting to try some different combinations.

Yes, nutrition is important. I will have to try the tea, haven't in a while. I love to use herbs in cooking. I even make bouquets with them.

Hi Peace, Are you in the culinary field? or a wanna-be chef? hehehe just kidding. What kind of tea did you use? how was the taste of the rice? was it like herb-smelly cooked rice? i will try this one. Whenever i am in the province my experience with puttig some green leaves on my rice is pandan leaves. tastes and smells good! thanks for sharing this! Have a great weekend!

Yes, you're right it tastes really good. It has a "herb-aroma". My son is wondering why about the smell and its taste. But we adults enjoyed it and may be do this once or twice a week. Again thanks for sharing your creativity and innovativeness as far as cooking is concerned.

I've never tried cooking rice with tea before, but I think I'll try it. Try cooking rice with chicken stock. I think the chineese did it to make a meal called "Hainan Chicken Rice."

I like eating it too. And yes, I sometimes like eating hot food, and when we go together with friends, we do go to the hotpot, because we can have fun while eating.

That was nice, good work on experimenting. We also try to cook rice in different ways like using a pandan leaf which gives the rice a very nice smell. What tea did you used? powdered? Natural? Home made?

This seems like a great idea! I think the next time I make rice I could try this, but what kind of tea should I use? Would green tea be good? Or should I try jasmine? They all seem so good! How will I ever decide?!?!
