Instead of Tea bag
Nothing truly replicates the clean tannins and deep mahogany hue of a black tea bag in simmered legumes without altering acidity or flavour.
Dried plumUse 1 to 2 pieces (about equal weight) simmered alongside chickpeas. Imparts dark colour and mild astringency with a hint of tartness.
Dried mango powderUse 1 g for every 2 g tea bag weight, added during boiling. Helps darken chickpeas slightly, though it will add noticeable sourness.
