I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat oven to 180 deg. celcius (fan-forced) and line two 12-hole muffin trays with patty pans.
Place 2 heaped tsp of loose tea into a mug and fill to top with boiling water. Set aside.
Mill almonds in TM bowl for 20 secs / sp 9. Set aside.
If using a 'chunky' style of tea blend (I used T2 'Strawberries & Cream' fruit tea), mill remaining 5 tsp for 30 secs / sp 9. Leave in bowl.
Add butter and sugar to TM bowl and cream for 1 min / 37 deg. / sp 4
With blades rotating on sp 4, add eggs through lid one at a time, continuing to mix for about 20 secs after last egg added.
Add flour, milled almonds and 170g of the brewed tea to the TM bowl and mix for 30 secs / sp 4. Scrape down bowl and mix further 20 secs if required.
Spoon into each patty pan until 2/3 full and bake in oven for 15 mins.

Tip
Other tea varieties that would suit this recipe include chai, earl grey and fruit/herbal teas.
You could use a self-raising 'cake flour' for a softer texture, but this is not essential.
These were served with a simple passionfruit icing, but you could play around with complementary flavour combinations and create something wonderful!
