Tea & Scones

One of my favorite things to drink is tea! And I have become quite the tea snob in my day thanks to a buddy of mine who gifts me Teavana tea!! Wow is it delicious!! Teavana is loose leaf tea and tastes amazing! There are so many wonderful flavors.  My favorites are the Chais and herbal blends like: Strawberry Lemonade, Tulsi Dosha Chai, Rooibos Peach, Cinnazen Tang, Sweet Fruit Garden, and many more.  If you love or even like tea and want to get away from coffee, Teavana has a website with all of their great teas! Their tea club is awesome, you get 3 teas a month for six months and it is $120....$20 a month...thats only a couple trips to Starbucks and a 3 pack Teavana club order is at least 120 cups of tea!!  On with the Scone recipe!

Cranberry Scones (and if you don't want cranberry, add a different fruit, like strawberries)

1 cup carrot
1 cup apple
1 c almonds
1/2 c brazil nuts
1/2 c pumpkin seeds
1 c raisens
1/2 c cranberries
1/2 c ground flaxseed
2 T honey
1/4 c lemon juice
2-3 tsp of ovoo
sesame seeds for sprinkling on top

process carrot in processor and put in a mixing bowl, process apples and add, process nuts & add, process raisens & add, then cranberries (unless you want big chunks of raisens and cranberries then don't process those at all, I wanted smaller chunks)
Mix wet ingredients - honey, lemon juice & oil
add wet to dry and add to mixing bowl
mix with your hands (and I added a couple shakes of stevia)
drop by heaping spoonfuls onto dehydrator
dehydrate for approx15 hours
YUM!
Now you can have your tea....and your scones too!
