I have read about this, and want to try it, as I think it will make a great finishing salt for fish, grilled meats, spice up a salad dressing and definetly go into bread recipes that call for salt.
Ingredients
2 lbs maine Sea Salt
1 oz. Fuggle's whole leaf
1 oz. Williamette whole leaf
1 oz. Centennial whole leaf
In a large mixing bowl, I combined the hops and then mixed in the salt by hand. Moved to an airtight container to "meld"
The idea is, I hope the salt extracts the flavor by pulling out all the little bits of flavors, liquids, and oils in the hops. As far as seperating the hops from the salt, a strainer might work, given the salt can fall through, or I could dissolve it all in water, strain out the hops, and then boil the salt water to evaporate it down and scrape off the salt. I will keep people posted on how the salt turns out.
