Pie
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. I recommend using loose-leaf tea rather than tea bags—this makes the flavor of the finished cake significantly richer and more aromatic. Don't like this tea variety? Replace it with any other type, including green or fruit tea; you can even use lavender tea. Serve the cake after it has cooled down, either cold or slightly warm.
