Darjeeling Tea Rub and BBQ Sauce






Eleven Spice + Two Tea Rub




5 tbs.  Darjeeling Black Tea
¼ Cup packed Light Brown Sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground red pepper flakes
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
½ tsp. ground star anise or anise seed
½ tsp. ground clove
½ tsp. ground fennel seed
½ tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. ground mace

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, mixing well until mixture is completely combined.

Grind the tea using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. This mixture will keep for approximately 2 months, and is good to use on Chicken, Pork, beef and game for grilling and or roasting. This mixture is also great for braising liquids, soups, chutneys and even ketchup for a burger sauce.
If your looking for a great sauce for game day this is it.

You can also make a BBQ sauce by adding some of the tea and honey which is just awesome.
