Quick and Easy Tea Gazpacho

1 med red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 med green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 28oz can chopped tomatoes, with their juice
1 med onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp finely ground dry oolong tea
4 drops Tobasco sauce
salt and pepper

Set aside 1/4 of the bell peppers and cucumbers to use as garnish.

Place the tomatoes, onions, remaining bell peppers, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, oil and Tobasco in a food processor and process until the desired consistency. It is always good to have a little texture.

Transfer the soup to a container, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. If the soup is too thick, thin it out with cold brewed oolong tea. Adjust the seasonings to taste.

Serve chilled, garnished with the reserved chopped peppers and cucumber.

I prefer red, yellow and orange peppers.

In the past, tea and sugar were privileges of the wealthy and were savored because of their expense. High tea is typically served with sugar cubes.

Expect to pay more for white tea than most other teas-Silver Needles can cost up to $25.00 for a 2oz tin, which will make 40 - 50 cups.

When you place a tea utensil, you should withdraw your hand as though it were a loved one you were leaving.
