Recipe: Grilled Halibut with Lemon Blossom Tea
This recipe is a Stash Tea employee favorite! The mild taste of halibut goes well with lemon tea, herbs and spices. Grilled in a foil packet, preparation doesn’t get any easier!
Grilled Halibut with Lemon Blossom Herbal Tea
2 pieces of halibut
6 grape tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil or 2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 tsp Stash Tea Lemon Blossom Herbal Tea
sweet paprika
fresh thyme
lemon juice
slice of lemon
salt & pepper to taste
step one. Preheat grill to 350°F.
step two. Cut 2 18”×18” pieces of heavy-duty tin foil.
step three. Lay one filet in the center of each piece of foil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then divide the grapes, breadcrumbs and Lemon Blossom tea over the tops of each fish. If you want to add more vegetables, place those in a pile on the foil first, then lay the fish on top.
step four. Make the packet by folding over two opposite sides of the foil, then roll up the other two sides to seal. Don’t press the packet flat; leave room at the top to vent.
step five. Place the foil packets on the grill for about 12 minutes, depending on the size of the filets. You can open one slightly to see if it is cooked.
Note: This recipe can also be made in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F, then bake the fish for 15-20 minutes. Remember to vent the foil packets!

Watermelon is one of our favorite summer fruits. Here’s a quick and easy iced tea recipe from IMPROV Kitchen that’s oh-so-good and super refreshing!
Watermelon Sweet Tea
2 c. cubed seedless watermelon
2 c. brewed iced tea
4 T. agave nectar
In a blender, combine ingredients and puree until combined. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Pour over ice, sip, enjoy!
Get creative! Morgan, the author of the IMPROV Kitchen blog has these great suggestions for variations of this recipe:
- Freeze the watermelon first to make this into a slushy.
- Try it with cantaloupe and a black or white tea.
- Use your sweetener of choice; honey, simple syrup (1 c. sugar + 1 c. water heated up until dissolved), artificial sweetener and super fine sugar will work too! Vary the level depending on how sweet you like your tea.
- Add some vodka or light rum for a sweet summertime cocktail.
