1.
Preheat oven to 350°. CRUST Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with foil that extends 2 inches over sides; coat foil with cooking spray. Combine flour, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon tea leaves from 1 tea bag (discard remaining tea in bag), and salt in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 19 minutes or until lightly browned. I noticed the bottom got nice and brown and the top didn't - that is ok. FILLING Place juice in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 30 seconds. Add remaining 1 tea bag to juice; cover and steep 10 minutes. Squeeze juice from tea bag into bowl; discard tea bag. Combine granulated sugar, 2 Tablespoons of the flour, and baking powder in a bowl. Add rind and eggs to juice; whisk until combined. Add sugar mixture to juice mixture; whisk until well combined. As soon as you remove the crust from the oven, pour filling onto it.. Bake at 350° for 23 minutes or until set. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove from pan by lifting foil. When the bars are cool, fold back the fold and cut into 16 bars. Sprinkle bars with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
