## Summary

Buttery shortbread with Earl Grey leaves ground into the sugar so bergamot runs through every bite. Short, snappy, keeps a week.

## Description

Earl Grey shortbread grinds the tea leaves straight into the sugar, so the bergamot perfumes the whole biscuit rather than sitting in stray flecks. The buttery crumb carries the citrus oil, and because there is no brewing liquid the dough stays short and snappy. It uses Tetley Earl Grey.

For a caffeine-free batch, the same method works just as well with rooibos: see the Earl Grey rooibos shortbread.
