GRILLED KINGKLIP WITH LEMON GREEN TEA BROTH

[printfriendly]

I wouldn’t call myself a tea snob, but ever since moving to Nice, I’ve become more and more fascinated with tisanes and herbal teas. And while it’s not strictly a French thing, I love the idea of working with tea in my cooking – I’ve been doing it with rooibos for years! This time around, though, I couldn’t resist flavouring my broth with lemon green tea. I don’t know why I never thought of it before. Somewhat herbaceous with a citrussy tang… it’s just perfect for broth to have with white fish, and a perfectly healthy winter warmer.
