Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
On low speed, add the flour mixture and beat gently until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Place tea from the tea bag into a food processor and process until fine. Add the icing sugar and pulse to combine. Place the spiced icing sugar into a medium sized bowl.
