Green Tea Marinated Cucumbers

INGREDIENTS

3 small cucumbers, peeled and sliced (I used Persian cucumbers)

Green Tea Vinaigrette

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1 cup strong brewed green tea (use 2 tea bags)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

1 dash hot pepper sauce

DIRECTIONS

Brew 1 cup of green tea. Cool to room temperature. Toast sesame seeds and cool to room temperature.

Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients with the brewed and cooled green tea; toss with the cucumbers.

Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours before serving. For best results, do no marinate for more than 4 hours or cucumbers will break down. Best eaten with 12-24 hours.
