Maren tea cake
"Ma Ren Tea Crispy" is a dish with local characteristics among Anhui cuisine. It is made from green tea from Huangshan Mountain and belongs to a seasonal dish in summer.
"Tea Crispy" can be made either sweet or salty. The sweeter thing is the use of sesame seeds and white sugar. It tastes crispy and crispy. After the aftertaste, it has a light aroma of tea coupled with the aroma of sesame seeds, which is very delicious. The salty ones can be made into "Salt and Pepper Tea Crispy", and it is also great to use as a wine dish!
This dish should be made with green tea before the rain or before the dawn. Only by using the tender buds of tea to make it will taste better. Generally, it is better to use "sparrow tongue" or "green hair tip".
I use the "sparrow tongue" today. I brew the tea half an hour in advance when making it. When using it, I just decanted the tea and grabbed the water out of the tea leaves. The tea can still be drunk. Don't waste it, haha! The specific practices are as follows;
