Our smoked honey has been idling in the pantry. I had been yearning to make a smoked honey glaze but had been blocked on what to pair with it. The breakthrough came with the onset of the Super Bowl and the requests for Eagles-inspired doughnuts. As I thought through green foods, I stopped on green tea. It clicked, tea and honey. The evolution to green tea and smoked honey was my next step. The glaze is made with our smoked honey bolstered with a dash—really a dash—of liquid smoke, buttermilk, vanilla, powdered sugar, lactic acid, and salt. We dip the fried doughnuts in the glaze and dust the tea over the top. The doughnut is bright, rich, sweet, savory, and heady green. I am willing to explore inspiration from everywhere as long as we get to delicious.
