Ingredients

  • 2 T. The Tea Company Hibiscus Madness tea leaves
  • 1/3 c. milk
  • 1/4 c. butter
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 2 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1/3 c. sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Steam the milk on the stove. Do not boil! Remove from heat, pour in a shallow bowl, and steep 1 tablespoon of Hibiscus Madness tea in the milk for 5 minutes. Discard tea leaves.
  • In a large bowl combine the Hibiscus milk, butter, and sugar. Mix until combined.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • In a small bowl combine the baking powder, salt, flour, and almonds. Pour into the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • Take the remaining tablespoon of tea leaves and place in a coffee grinder. Grind until fine. Add to the dough and mix until well combined.
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm it up.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide into three balls. Shape each ball into an 8 inch long roll. Place the rolls 3 inches apart on a large cookie sheet. Flatten the rolls until they are 2 inches wide.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the bottoms and edges are golden. Cool completely (about 30 minutes).
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Transfer the cooked biscotti rolls to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut each roll diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices, cut side down, on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and turn slices over. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
