01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, powdered tea, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate small bowl, mix the butter and powdered sugar until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, cut this buttery mixture into the dry ingredients until it looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the brewed tea and stir until the dough just comes together.

Step 2
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and give it a few gentle kneads. Roll it out to about half an inch thick, then use a round cutter to cut out your scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and lovely to look at. Let them cool slightly before enjoying!
Why you’ll love it

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To keep them fresh longer, freeze them in a sealed bag and reheat in the oven before serving.
