Jasmine Tea

Green tea scented with fresh jasmine blossoms layer by layer until the leaves absorb a delicate floral fragrance.

Ingredients

• 400g pork belly
• 2 cups glutinous rice
• 2 tbsp sliced scallion whites
• 1 tsp chili oil
• 1/4 cup neutral vegetable oil
• 1 cup scallions, sliced
• a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• a drizzle of soy sauce

• 1 1/2 tsp white pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the steamed buns and water in a saucepan, blender, or pitcher, stirring well.

2. 2

   Add the star anise and black vinegar, stirring gently so their flavor infuses the mixture.

3. 3

   Heat gently over low heat (or blend, or steep, depending on the drink) until well combined and fragrant, about 0 mins.

4. 4

   Strain through a fine sieve to remove any solids, if needed.

5. 5

   Sweeten to taste with Shaoxing wine, adjusting gradually until the balance feels right.

6. 6

   Chill in the refrigerator, or pour straight over ice, depending on whether it is served cold or hot.
