Smokey Deviled Eggs

Submitted by: Margaret Ortigo

Deviled eggs with a suble smokey flavor.

Prep Time: Prep time: 36 hours.
Cook time: 5 minutes
Serving Size: 4 to 5

Ingredients

6 eggs, boiled.
1/2 cup mayo
1 - 2 Tablespoons dill pickle relish
1/2 - 1 Teaspoon ground red pepper. (to taste)
Salt to taste.
4 cups Strong brewed Lapsong Souchong tea.

Directions
Peel boiled eggs. Pour strong tea over eggs until covered. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 24 - 36 hours. To increase the amount of flavor absorbed into the eggs, you may want to prick eggs with a fork or toothpick, but not into the yolk. Egg whites will take on a brown color and subtle smokey flavor. Remove eggs from tea. Cut in half and remove yolk. Mix thoroughly with mayo, relish, and seasonings. Carefully place about 1 heaping teaspoon of yolk mixture into each egg half. For garnish you could sprinkle with a little red pepper.
