Ingredients:

  • you can grind the tea leaves in a small food processor or with a mortar and pestle.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 tbsp finely ground earl grey tea leaves (from about 8 bags)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks (8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners'' sugar
  • 1 tbsp finely grated orange zest

Directions:

  1. Whisk together flour, tea, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. Put butter, sugar, and zest in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low; slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined.
  3. Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs. Roll in parchment to 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log and force out air. Transfer in parchment to paper-towel tubes; freeze 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Space 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Bake until edges turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on parchment sheets on wire racks.
