客家擂茶(Hakka Tea)

In my Childhood Food post, I did mention that I like Hakka Tea very much. Last weekend, me, hubby & both girls went back to my mum's house. My mum's place did plant those leave that use for hakka tea. So I took some of the pictures & posted big big here so that can see clearly, as I dunno how to tell the leave name..here there are...

Take about 10 slice of this leaves...

This one u can put more than... er er 20 slice la, normally we only agak-agak..hehe

This one 2 slice will do, u can fried with garlic/shallots b4 grounding also can, more fragrant.

3 types of these "life" leaves, one table spoon chinese tea(any type will do, but not so pitter one la), some sesame & peanut(the more the merrier..hehe, as I love these 2!), all pour into the pot & start grounding them. OK, just to tell you guys one thing here, some modern & smart peoples (my mum is one of them) do not use the pot to ground anymore, they use BLENDER to blend instead! Really save the job on washing the pot part! Then pour in hot boil water, add salt & serve with 米籽. As I said in previous post, can add in fried vegetables too, more yummy!

My mum blended some of this & kept in fridger, and pass to me when I am going back, also pack some 米籽 & peanut...hehe..see , she know I love this food very much...!

Wien & Lyon love the 米籽very much, keep eating it at home now! I have to keep some for myself le, else, cannot eat with my hakka tea liao!!
