Green Tea Kahlua Pork

Friends, what can I say, the crock pot does it again!  This recipe for Green Tea Kahlua Pork will blow you away!  Only THREE ingredients (okay, not including salt, pepper and water!) and you will have the world's tastiest pork!  What three ingredients, you ask, could impart such flavor?  Well, let me tell you!  Green tea leaves, liquid smoke and, you guessed it, PORK (pork loin to be specific!)  That's right, open up a couple of bags of green tea and rub it all over the pork and you will be amazed by the flavor of this thing!  When I was reading online about what side would traditionally be served with this kind of pork in Hawaii I read that it would normally be served with some kind of tropical fruit and rice so I served this with Pineapple Fried Rice for a complete meal!  Enjoy!

Green Tea Kahlua Pork (adapted from fooddonelight.com)

2 green tea bags
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
2 lb. boneless pork loin, trimmed of fat
1 c. water 
1/2 t. liquid smoke

Open the tea bags (I just cut off the top) and pour the tea leaves into a small bowl.  Add the salt and pepper and mix to combine.  Place the pork in a 4 qt. slow cooker that has been sprayed with cooking spray and rub the tea leaf mixture all over the pork.  Carefully add the water and liquid smoke to the crock pot (being careful not to pour over the rubbed pork.)  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 2-4 hours.  Shred with two forks (in the crock pot) so the meat will absorb the juices.
