Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Filling
- 6 ounces nearly boiling filtered water
- 4 teaspoons Organic Immunity Blend
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 lemon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
Directions
Make the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325 degree F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined. Cut in the butter and vanilla until the dough begins to form.
- Press the dough into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.
Make the Filling
- While the crust bakes, prepare the filling. Steep the tea leaves for 5-7 minutes and set aside.
- Zest the lemon until 1 tablespoon of lemon zest is acquired. Squeeze the juice until you have ¼ cup of lemon juice.
- Combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
- Add the lemon zest, vanilla, lemon juice, and steeped tea (discarding the tea leaves) into the mixture and whisk well.
- Pour the filling on top of the baked crust and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the edges begin to caramelize and the middle doesn’t jiggle.
- Let cool to room temperature and then chill in the fridge. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
