• Two teaspoons of earl grey
• 300g flour
• 16g baking powder

Let’s prepare it together:

• Prepare your Earl Grey in advance as directed on our website and on the label of its package and let it cool.
• Whip the three eggs with the 180gr sugar together until foamy.
• Add the Earl Grey, melted butter, flour, baking powder and lemon zest. Whisk everything together thoroughly.
• In a previously buttered and floured cake pan, pour the ingredients.
• Bake at 180° for 30 to max 35 mins.

Once baked, let it cool and decorate with a little powdered sugar.

Assam Tea Shortbread

Ingredients:

• 190g buckwheat flour.
• 80g brown sugar
• 25g rice oil
• 80g Assam Tea (We recommend you prepare it at least two hours in advance so it cools).
• One bar of dark chocolate to cut into chips.

Let’s prepare them together

• Sift the buckwheat flour, sugar and chocolate chips.
• Pour in the rice oil and mix, helping with your hands.
• When it’s smooth, add the Tea and, if necessary, more flour.
• The dough should stay in the fridge for at least 50 minutes after being wrapped in a plastic wrap.
• After the 50 minutes has passed, you can take the dough and knead it a few more minutes until it forms a sausage, wrapping it in baking paper and closing the two ends tightly. Let it rest another 30 minutes but this time in the freezer.
• Take the dough and cut it carefully into slices. Once more, place your cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes.
• Now it’s time to start baking. 15 minutes at 180 degrees in the preheated oven.
