Black tea infused satay

I’m definitely savoring last few days of Summer. The weather is definitely not Summery anymore, though I can’t say it’s cold yet. I’m a bit reluctant to bid farewell to Summer, but truth to be told, Fall is my favorite season of all. Breezy. The trees in front of our house have started to show the early sign of Fall. The outdoor grill is about to take a long hibernation when the snow hit us (oh…please don’t talk about snow! not yet. I’m not ready AT ALL!). This black tea infused satay is probably my last attempt in using that outdoor grill.

I like the flavor infused by the black tea. It’s not overwhelmingly strong, but when you bite into the satay, you definitely get that hint (more than hint actually!) of tea in there. I love it.

I use black vinegar pretty often in my cooking and it works well especially with meaty dishes like this. Kinda ties everything together nicely.
