3 tablespoons loose leaf green tea

1 tablespoon Himalayan Pink Salt (coarse)

Directions:

To make a fine salt blend, place both the pink salt and green tea leaves in a grinder (spice grinder) or your food processor and blend until you get the desired form. If you want a coarse blend (not fine) then use mortar and pestle to grind the both materials manually. Place the salt blend in a clean and well-sealed jar and store in a dry place. The above-mentioned ingredients would be sufficient to fill a small size spice jar.

According to your taste, you can play around with the ratios of ingredients that are mentioned above. Use more green tea if the Himalayan pink salt is strong or adds more salt if green tea is strong.
