Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Brewed tea (strong, cooled)
- 6 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or basil, finely chopped)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of tea using your choice of tea leaves or a teabag (black, green, or herbal tea work well). Allow it to cool completely before use.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooled brewed tea, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the honey and mustard are fully incorporated.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the mixture. The vinaigrette should become slightly thickened and cohesive.
Stir in the freshly chopped herbs to add flavor and color to the vinaigrette.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar depending on your preference.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Shake well before each use and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
