Earl Grey tea biscuits

Earl Grey is my favourite black tea, and I've had much success using it in chocolate desserts (see my pots de créme au chocolat and chocolate truffle cake). This time I decided to try using it without chocolate and to make biscuits instead.

I've made chocolate pots a couple of times before for Valentine's Day (or night, rather) but not for the last few years. So I thought this year would be a good time to bring them back, with a few tweaks no less.

My second attempt at this cake. Decided to reduce the amount of sugar slightly and use the Greek style yoghurt I had in the fridge.

Wanting something chocolatey but not sweet, I made a dark chocolate chai tea cake. This cake was largely adapted from my earlier Green Earl Grey truffle cake.

A good friend gave me a jar of fancy chocolate truffle sauce. I didn't really know what to do with it until I spotted the can of Fortnum & Mason Green Earl Grey tea leaves sitting in the press. The same friend also gave me an electric mixer a while ago after finding out that I'd been sticking to loaf cakes because I had to do everything by hand. So I decided to try my hands at making something other than a loaf. This green Earl Grey chocolate truffle cake is what I came up with. As per usual, the recipe is adapted from one using wheat flour, and I swapped regular Earl Grey (black tea) with Earl Grey Green (green tea).
