Candy Cane Burst Brownies!

WOW! You are going to absolutely LOVE these brownies! You can use any tea, but we thought they would be fantastic with our Candy Cane Burst tea!  You can use ANY brownie recipe, you'll just need to infuse your tea into the brownies. This recipe that we used called for butter, so we went ahead and melted the butter and then threw a tablespoon and a half of tea into the butter. If your recipe calls for water (even if it is a mix), brew tea and use it in place of the water!

Tea-Infused Butter

Happy Thanksgiving! Today, we went to The Nine on Channel 13 and made some delicious Tea-Infused Butter with our Thanksgiving Blend tea!   Take your favorite tea and put it in a spice blender to chop it fine.

Since we were using our Thanksgiving Blend tea today, we chopped up some cranberries and orange zest and put them into the butter. We wanted to make sweet butter, so we also put some...

Pumpkin Gingerbread Basque Cheesecake

Pumpkin Gingerbread Basque Cheesecake

  We love experimenting with our teas, so last week, we tried out a Pumpkin Basque Cheesecake recipe and added our Gingerbread tea leaves for the spice. Several ingredients need to be at room temperature, so get those out several hours before you want to make it. Surprisingly, there is no flour in this cheesecake, and with no crust, it would be a gluten-free, friendly dessert to have at a get-together. We think it turned out quite lovely, so we thought we'd share!   PUMPKIN GINGERBREAD BASQUE CHEESECAKE Ingredients3 bricks of Cream Cheese at room temperature3/4 cup Sour Cream at room...
