PEACH TEA BBQ RUB

The origins of this recipe stem from Certified Master Chef Rich Rosendale’s time at the Greenbrier in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. This was a popular barbecue rub he used at Kate's Mountain Lodge, a rustic venue at the Greenbrier. It is a little expensive to make, given the amount of tea that goes into it, but it is worth making a batch. Luckily, a little bit goes a long way!
