Suggested Recipe: I Love Lemon Cheesecake
1 cup heavy cream
12 Bigelow I Love Lemon herbal tea bags
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Non-stick spray
24 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
4 eggs
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tbsp. of sugar, and the 12 Bigelow I Love Lemon tea bags in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer then remove from heat. Let it steep for 45 minutes. Remove tea bags, squeeze out the excess liquid, and let it cool. Melt 3 tbsp. of butter and mix in 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs. Mix until the crumbs are moistened. Spray an 8" spring form pan with non-stick spray. Press graham cracker mixture into pan to create crust. Bake for 8 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees Fahrenheit oven. Let rest on cooling rack while preparing cheesecake mixture. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Work with cream cheese at room temperature. In standing mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, followed by the sour cream, and the eggs. Make sure to add these one at a time. Stream in the infused heavy cream, then add the lemon zest and vanilla extract. Pour mixture on cooled crust and bake for 60-70 minutes. Cheesecake will have a slightly jiggly center. Cool on rack, chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours before unmolding. Combine zest of one lemon with 3 tbsp. of sugar. Sprinkle on top of chilled cheesecake. Cut and serve with berries.
