Earl Grey Lime Rolls Recipes

EARL GREY LIME ROLLS

Steps:

• Place tea in boiling water, and steep for 15 minutes.
• Strain and cool to lukewarm.
• Place yeast and sugar in a large bowl and stir tea into them.
• When yeast has dissolved, stir in butter, salt, lime rind and enough of the flour to form a dough that is hard to stir.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 8 minutes, adding only as much flour as needed to produce a dough that is smooth, elastic and just past the point of being sticky.
• Put in a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
• Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hour).
• Punch down, and divide into 30 small or 20 large dinner rolls.
• Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets, cover with kitchen towels, and let rise until doubled in volume (about 30 minutes).
• Pre-heat oven to 375F (400 at 6000').
• Bake rolls in the center of the oven for 13-15 minutes.
• Brush hot rolls with butter.
• Remove from baking sheets and serve immediately, or place on rack to cool (serve warm for best flavor).

EARL GREY TEA AND LIME ICE POPS

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over tea bags in a jar or pitcher, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
• Remove tea bags, add sugar, and stir in lime juice. Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste and cool mixture to room temperature.
• Drop a lime slice into each ice pop mold. Pour in mixture, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the sticks or tops in and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• Run some warm water over the molds to help loosen the ice pops.
