Christmas Tea Cookies
We’ve got a tip to make your Christmas cookies extra special this year: Add some tea for a gourmet taste Santa is sure to love! Or for a grown-up treat, try our Mulled Wine Recipe with Spiced Tea.
You can use your coffee grinder or blender to grind loose tea leaves into a fine powder. Then, replace 1-2 tablespoons of flour with ground tea leaves for each batch of cookies. Or try baking with the already powdered Matcha Green Tea.
