Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and loose-leaf Earl Grey tea until thoroughly combined.
  2. Incorporate Cold Ingredients: Cut the chilled butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gently stir in the heavy cream, fresh blackberries, lemon zest, and juice into the butter-flour mixture.
  4. Chill Dough: Divide the dough into two equal disks and wrap them in plastic wrap. Place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  5. Shape Scones: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each disk into 8 triangles.
  6. Bake: Bake your scones for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Once baked, cool on a wire rack and prepare the lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice. Drizzle over warm scones.
