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 350u00b0 for 19 minutes or until lightly browned. I noticed the bottom got nice and brown and the top didn't - that is ok.
