Ingredients

Herbal Tea Soaked Raisins:

  • 1 cup organic raisins
  • 1 cup chamomile or lavender herbal tea freshly brewed and cooled

Cookie Dough:

Garnish:

  • Slivered almonds or edible flowers optional

Instructions

Soak the Raisins:

  • In a small bowl, soak the raisins in the herbal tea for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper infusion. Drain and pat dry before use.

Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine spelt flour, almond flour, and a pinch of salt.
  • In another bowl, cream together the ghee and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold in the tea-soaked raisins and cardamom until the dough comes together.

Form the Cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and flatten them slightly to form rounds.
  • Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake:

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Garnish:

  • Before serving, garnish each cookie with a sliver of almond or an edible flower for an elegant touch.

Serve:

  • Serve these herbal tea soaked raisin rounds as a refined, peaceful accompaniment to a cup of herbal tea or as a delicate dessert option at your spa restaurant.
