We reimagined the quintessential New Mexican cookie as a tea, and it's muy sabrosa. Anise seed's earthen sweetness make biscochito cookies distinct and memorable, and this deep and cozy green tea equally provides a warming experience. Roasted green tea leaves and spices form a brew with enough body to withstand a splash of milk, if so inclined.
Did you know that not only does each state in the union have their own representative bird, flower, tree and flag but that there are also a state cookie?! For New Mexico, that's the Biscochito! These spicy, anise-flavored cookies were first introduced to Mexico by Spanish settlers who brought the recipe from Spain; however the biscochito was only declared the official state cookie by the New Mexico Legislature in 1989. State symbols represent the cultural heritage & natural treasures of each state. The trend for state symbols started with a "National Garland of Flowers" created for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, made of representative flowers from each state.
Bring filtered or spring water to 180°F. Add 1 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 2-3 minutes.
