Get ready to sprinkle green tea salt on almost everything! Making your own green tea salt blend is very simple. It requires just 2 ingredients and only 1 step that will take a couple of minutes or less.
What is Green Tea Salt?
Green tea salt is a nice way to add unique flavours to a plethora of dishes and treats. It’s an easy way to begin cooking with tea, too.
The two salt blends I like to make often are matcha salt and hojicha salt. If you have either of those Japanese green teas and coarse salt on hand, then I suggest heading over to your kitchen right now!
Matchais a green tea powder that will simply be tossed in to coat the coarse salt. I’ll be usinghojicha powderto do the same, but if you only have loose hojicha tea you can grind the leaves until they are fine, and mix it in with the salt, instead of coating it.
How to Use It
If you’re wondering “how would I use this tea salt?” I’m here to tell you the possibilities are endless.
Just think of anything you would normally add salt to and now imagine adding some tea flavour to that dish/treat, too! Sounds delicious, right? Here are some ideas to get you started:
In a small bowl, mix the salt and matcha or hojicha powder together. The salt granules should be well coated in the tea powder. Add more salt if the tea is too strong and vice versa.
Store in an airtight container away from heat and add to dishes.
Notes
Tip: Want to add heat to your tea salt? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix!
