pork ribs

[dan the mano]

hey every one , i was just curious to see if any one has tried say ice tea mix on there ribs , yes i know this does sound kinda crazy , but to try this with a low temp say 225 so not to burn the sugar ? what does everyone think ? and thank you in advance

Hmmm.. interesting. Probably not such a crazy idea actually, and worth giving it a try. Even if you simply added brew tea for the herbs to a particular rub so that you know and can control the sugars and salt etc. I wouldn't be so concerned about burning sugar with a tea mix either as a majority of rib rubs have a lot of sugar as well. Be sure to post up how it went!

Now that's thinking outside of the box. If you try this let us know how it turns out.

Wouldn't be overly concerned about burning sugar in the rubs. As mentioned most pork rubs have quite a bit of sugar. However, interesting idea using tea. Curious how it would change the flavor profile of the pork. Let us know how it turns out!

Sounds different. If you do it I would be very interested to see how they come out.

Every good recipe started out as a new idea once. That might be the next big hit. Hope to hear how it turns out.

Why not if iced tea is your thing. It can't suck if you like the flavor of tea already. That wouldn't really fly for me cause I'm not a fan of that beverage. I'd love to try some ribs with root beer but my wife despises the taste. With her new obsession for ribs, I think that she would probably be perturbed if I "reserved" a rack by instilling it with root beer. I would be curious to hear about your tea ribs. Give it a go.

never tried it with ribs , but we do soak our hams in sweet tea , then smoke them ...don't laugh it adds a good flavor to them

The only BBQ Joint near me worth going to actually marinades rib tips in sweet tea and smokes them. So it can't be that bad given the rave reviews on the things!

Now that sounds very interesting!!! Let us know how it turns out.

Sounds very interesting. Why so sweet? Did you use a sweet tea?

well i assume when you say a sweet tea , you mean home made ( tea pot) tea just very sweet .. well i have over the past saw some recipes for lemon .. just lemon to give it a little bit of zing to it ... where as the ice tea mix had next to nothing for a zing ... just sweetness.
