Valentine scones with Sweet Love

SWEET LOVE SCONE

The Valentine Day continues with some more heart shaped baked goods, this time in form of scones made with plenty of love or actually with Kusmi Sweet Love tea instead of the more usual milk.

I usually bake scones at 250'C, however as most silicone forms can not withstand such high temperatures, I lowered the baking temperature to 220'C in combination with increased baking time (10-15 minutes extra).

The use of Sweet Love tea gives a nice spicy, yet delicate flavou touch to these scones.
