Step 8 - Stamp out a hole at the top of each teabag.
Step 9 - Leave to chill in the fridge the fride for 15 mins before baking until the biscuits turn golden brown. This will take around 15 minutes.
Step 10 - Leave the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking tray, once the're cooked before you transfer them to a wire rack to cool fully.
