   Open the Earl Grey tea bags and mix the tea leaves with the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Earl Grey Scones!
