Orange Oolong Crepe: a fun, unique and delicious dessert for anyone who likes to make crepes. I think this would be a great thing to make at a party. I had this yesterday at the NW Tea Fest. In hindsight, it was perhaps not the best choice for lunch (very sweet), but how could I not try it? ;-) The crepe maker was very kind to answer all my questions.
First, he poured the very thin crepe batter onto the griddle and spread it paper-thin with a special tool. (I use a cast iron crepe pan at home.)
Done and delicious! It had a crunchy texture from the caramelized sugar and tea leaf, and a tangy-sweet flavor. Some of the sugars, now warmed and combined with the citrus, melted into a delicious syrup.

I never met a grain of sugar I didn't like (alas), so this would have been just fine by me! But I would be happy to try your suggested version as well. Just let me know what time to show up! ;)
It sounds delicious! I like the idea of adding nuts --- chopped almonds, or hazelnuts, or walnuts perhaps? Maybe a little bit of fresh orange zest --- and served with just a splash of pure maple syrup. Oh, and for sure the oolong tea leaves! This sounds terrific!
I think you'd do better with a milder nut - almonds or pinenuts so they don't overwhelm the Oolong.
What a delightful experience!
Oh my! This sounds and looks tea-licious!!
When I saw this post I had to laugh. I did the same thing as I was so curious. It was good, but overwhelmingly sweet. I could have gone with just the sugar sprinkled on the top a little and yes, maybe a fine sprinkle of almond would be good.
Ok. I'll give it a try with almonds and let you all know! Thx for the thoughts. Marmalady - I'm chuckling too!
oh yum! I'm with Linda, looks 'tea-licious'!
If I would have been there I'd have tried the Orange Oolong Crepe too. It sounds wonderfully unique and delicious - sugar and all! ;-)
To tell you the truth I really hate sugary foods but I will put this one as an exception. Do you have a recipe using a tulsi tea or the one they call holy basil and turn it into a delicious crepe too. :-) Thanks
Hanna - I don't have a recipe using holy basil, but I think if you sprinkled on some dry leaf, it would work well!
I didn't know all of this. Nice to know this interesting and innovative recipe, tasting good.
I didn't know all of this. Nice to know it. Do you have any recipe idea using green tea and I like to get it. Can you share it?
