A Day with Kenn 95
6:17 PMThese should be green. Flash killed it. |
Today, I make preserved lime tea with honey.
Top photo is of preserved limes. My dad has them in a big jar in the kitchen. I don't know what the brine is made out of, but whatever it is, it's been there for a long time. The limes loose their sourness and gain an almost musky sweetness.
These should be green. Flash killed it. |
I don't think it's necessary, but I like chopping it up real fine. Sometimes I'll stick this into a tea steeper and make it like that.
Throw the chopped up bits into a pot with water and boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil you can kill the heat.
Put it through a strainer to take out all the lime bits and you'll end up with something like this. Add some honey or other sweetener because the lime does have a very strong and unique taste. Without a sweetener, it tastes a little odd.
That's all for today! Tune in next time when I cook up an entire generation of mammoths in a dutch oven the size of a pin head.
