Who says you can’t have your tea and rice Krispy treat? Ok, no one says that but if they did they’d be wrong. I always enjoy playing around with recipes, tweaking it to see what else I can do to make things interesting so I figured, why not tea-flavored rice treat? It’s super simple to make and smells heavenly.
Not only is the flavor of tea what makes this twist unique, but I also browned the butter.

Tea Rice Treat
|
|
|
Ingredients
|
- 8 tablespoons of butter
- Tea of your choice
- Vanilla paste
- 10 oz bag of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups of toasted rice cereal (or whatever kind of cereal)
- Optional: extra marshmallows

Directions

- Put the 8 tablespoons of butter into a saucepan over medium heat. After it’s melted, just let it keep cooking until it turns a golden brown. You can also see my recipe for ghee, essentially, I’m doing the same thing
- When the butter is done, pour the butter over a strainer on top of the tea leaves. I measured out 3 teaspoons of tea (which is what I would do for a normal cup) and steep it for however long your normally would. For this tea, I chose Lady Earl Grey, which is earl grey with lavender and stepped it for 4 minutes
- Strain the butter/tea mixture back into the saucepan over medium/low heat, then add a splash of vanilla
- Add marshmallows and stir until it melts. After it’s melted turn off the stove
- Add the rice cereal into the saucepan with the marshmallow and stir gently to evenly coat
- Optional: I personally love whole mini marshmallows into the treat so add a cup or so of that
- Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum then spread the mixture out. The more you press down the harder it will be. I like to keep it looser so it isn’t so difficult to bite into
