GREEN TEA CREPES

 

 

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon powdered green tea (matcha powder)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

 

Whisk together eggs, milk, 1/3 cup of water, and butter. Whist in green tea powder, flour, and salt, until all lumps have disappeared.Transfer the batter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day. 

Heat a small nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Place about 2 tablespoons of the better on the skillet and swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Use more batter for thicker crepes. Cook until the top appears dry, about 1 minute. Flip the crepe and cook until the bottom appears lightly browned and the crepe slides easily in the pan, about 1 minute.

 


 


PRAWN TEA PIZZA

 

Ingredients

5 - 6 cups bread flour
2 cups room-temperature water
Half pack yeast (3/4 oz packet)
1 egg
4 tb olive oil
2 tsp salt
4 tsp sugar

Mix yeast with water and let sit for 10 min. Combine all wet ingredients into a mixing bowl and after 10 minutes, add the yeast mixture. Top the wet ingredients with dry ingredients and mix everything together by hand or by electric mixer. The dough should have enough flour that it is easily molded, not wet, and won't naturally take on any more flour by further kneading. Cut the dough into 4 equal sized pieces and shape into a ball, let chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (and up to 1 week). Flatten dough into desired shape. Bake the pizza crust with toppings (see below) for 10 - 15 minutes at 450 F. 

Toppings

We topped this pizza, in particular, with 10 medium to large sauted prawns, fresh from Cloudwaters' surrounding stream, chopped coconut, cilantro, freshly grated parmesan and cheddar cheese, and peanuts, garnished with flushing tea leaves. We used olive oil as the base and also tried a sweet chilli dipping sauce. The ingredients and dough are simple - the taste is outstanding. 

 


Friends of Farmers

We work to establish relationships with artists from around the world who offer hand-crafted pieces of work that blend art with agriculture. Through this mutual friendship we now offer clay sculpture tea cups from Susan Raber in Vermont, and organic cotton tea-towels from India.

 

Tea Wear Tea Ware

 

Tea Cups

Each of these clay sculptures have been carved and burnished with terra sigillta. They are glazed, re-fired, and pit-fired. After being buried in sawdust and straw, they are dipped in salt and fired in a reduction atmosphere from 4 - 12 hours. 

 

 

Organic Cotton Tea Towel

Conventionally grown cotton is one of the most pesticide demanding crops. It is a health hazard and pollutes the groundwater. Organic cultivation of cotton ensures a healthy eco-system of the cotton fields and a product free of toxid pesticide residues.
