Peach Ginger & Tea Glazed Chicken image

This recipe is from Relish magazine. We liked it, and were interested in the idea of adding tea leaves to food. It may still need a little tweaking. I used less ginger, as my hubby isn't crazy about tons of ginger. I intend to try it with a little orange marmalade instead of peach preserves, for a change. It is good served with basmati rice and a spinach salad.
