CHAI TEA MINI BISCUITS

Steps:

• Cook milk in a small non-aluminum saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring once, 2 to 3 minutes or just until bubbles appear (do not boil); remove from heat.
• Add tea bags; cover and steep 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags from milk, squeezing gently.
• Stir together sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or a fork until crumbly. Add 3/4 cup milk mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Reserve remaining milk mixture for later use.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 to 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut biscuits out with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 6 to 7 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
• Whisk together reserved 1 tablespoon milk mixture and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over warm biscuits and serve.
• TO MAKE AHEAD:.
• Prepare biscuits, and freeze, without glaze, in a zip-top plastic freezer bag up to 2 weeks.
• To reheat, thaw biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees F for 4 to 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
• Whisk together 1 tablespoon milk and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle glaze evenly over biscuits, and serve immediately.

CHAI SPICED BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C and line or grease a baking tray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter, sugar and syrup over a medium heat. Remove to cool once everything has melted and dissolved. Add the flour and chai spices into the pan and whisk until it forms a dough.
• After letting the dough cool slightly, roll it into small balls between your palms and place them onto the tray. Flour your hands so the mixture doesn't stick and press each ball with a fork to squash it a little.
• Bake at 180C for 10-12 minutes until the Chai Spiced Biscuits are golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
