Green Tea: Good for the Soul - and Heart!

Green Tea Sampler
It's easy to be green with this Green Tea Sampler
Sometimes it's actually easy to be green, especially when the potential health benefits are this great!

In a study that involved 500 Japanese men and women, researchers found that drinking at least four cups of green tea every day may be related to the reduced severity of coronary heart disease among the male participants.

Meanwhile, a Dutch study of more than 3,000 men and women found that the more tea consumed, the less severe the clogging of the heart's blood vessels, especially in women.

Smoky Tea Salmon Recipe

Who says tea is just for drinking? Try out this tasty tea recipe the next time you prepare salmon.

Smoky Tea Salmon
Smoky Tea Salmon is made with lapsang souchong
1-2 ounces Lapsang Souchong tea leaves
4 Tbs Ground Orange Rind
Olive Oil
3-4 lbs. Salmon
2 cedar planks for cooking
Salt & Pepper to taste

In a spice mill, combine lapsang souchong, salt, and pepper. Grind to fine powder. Combine with ground orange rind and set aside. Rub salmon with olive oil, ensuring a complete coating. Then coat the salmon with the Lapsang dry rub.

Place salmon on cedar planks (Aside: soaking the cedar planks in water can extend their life for multiple uses.)
Broil on High for 10-15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.  Do not overcook.

Serves 10-12.
