Green Tea Marinated Cucumbers

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

1. Brew 1 cup of green tea.
2. Cool to room temperature.
3. Toast sesame seeds and cool to room temperature.
4. Whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients with the brewed and cooled green tea; toss with the cucumbers.
5. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours before serving.
6. For best results, do no marinate for more than 4 hours or cucumbers will break down.
7. Best eaten with 12-24 hours.
8. Yield is estimated.
