Earl Grey Tea Pickles
One of the secrets to getting crunchy pickles is to add leaves, such as oak or raspberry, that have tannins in them. You might be thinking, "But how do I know which leaves have tannins? And how do I get ahold of some?" Well don’t worry - tea leaves have tannins too, and you can use them to make your pickles crunchy and flavorful. Earl Grey is one of my favorite teas to use because it adds a unique and delightful flavor to these pickles. I can hardly wait for you to try them. We might start a whole new movement of pickles made with different types of tea!

Instructions
Step 1
If using the starter culture, stir together the culture and water. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the ingredients—around 10 minutes.
Step 2
Cut the blossom ends off the cucumbers.
Step 3
Combine the peppercorns, salt, and garlic in a small bowl.
Step 4
Tightly pack the cucumber and peppercorn mixture into jars evenly. Add the starter culture or kefir whey and the tea bags. Fill the jar with filtered water to cover the cucumbers but leave 1 to 2 inches of headspace for them to bubble and ferment.
Step 5
Seal the jars and let it sit on your kitchen counter, out of direct sunlight, for 3 days.
Step 6
After 3 days, remove the tea bags and place them in the refrigerator.
Step 7
You can let them slowly continue fermenting in the fridge for an additional 3 days for a more intense flavor if desired!
