⅔ cup caster sugar
2 tsp green tea leaves (loose-leaf or from a tea bag)
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
80 g butter
1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 tbsp honey

1. Preheat oven to 180°C and dust a baking tray with flour.
2. Mix the flour, sugar, tea and bicarb. Rub in the butter.
3. In a bowl, mix the egg, milk and honey. Add to dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough, adding a little water if needed.
4. Roll out the dough to about 6–8 mm thick. Cut into rounds and arrange on the baking tray.
