Smoked Tea BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 1/2 tablespoon pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

  • 1/2 tablespoon lapsang souchong tea, finely ground (dry)

  • 1 rack of baby back ribs

  • 1 1/2 cups Smoky Tea BBQ Sauce, separated

Directions

  • Combine chili powder, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cayenne, tea in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Rub ribs with the spice rub and bring to room temperature on the counter (about 45 minutes). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Bake ribs for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and preheat broiler. Baste with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce on each side and broil 3 minutes each side.
  • Cut ribs apart and serve with additional 1/2 cup BBQ sauce for dipping. I also made hushpuppies and sauteed garlic spinach, but any kind of traditional BBQ side would be great with these: coleslaw, potato salad, mashed potatoes, cornbread–the options are endless.
