Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooling time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:
- 8 plain biscuits (you can choose digestive biscuits or butter biscuits)
- 50 g butter (preferably at room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons jam or preserves (choose your favorite flavors, such as raspberry, apricot, or strawberry)
- 1 cup herbal tea (e.g., chamomile, mint, or lime blossom)
- 1-2 tablespoons honey (to taste)
- Cinnamon (to taste)

Preparation technique:
1. Preparing the tea: Start by making a cup of herbal tea. You can use tea bags or dried herbs. Let the tea steep for about 5-7 minutes, then sweeten it with honey and add cinnamon to taste. It is important for the tea to reach room temperature before continuing with the recipe.

2. Preparing the biscuits: In a bowl, prepare the biscuits. You can use whole biscuits or, if you prefer, break them into smaller pieces to soak them more easily.

3. Assembling the cake: Quickly dip each biscuit in the cooled tea, being careful not to leave them too long, so they don’t fall apart. Place the first biscuit on a plate, spread it with butter, then add a tablespoon of jam or preserves. Continue alternating biscuits with butter and jam until you have formed a cake with 4 biscuits. Finally, cover it with a plain biscuit.

4. Pressing and decorating: Once you have assembled the cake, gently press it with your palm to compact it. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and decorate with a little jam or preserves for a more attractive appearance.

5. Serving: Serve the mini cake alongside the remaining herbal tea. You can accompany it with some fresh fruits, such as banana slices or strawberries, for a touch of freshness.

Useful tips:
- Choose quality biscuits, as they will influence the final taste of the dessert. Butter biscuits add a rich, creamy flavor.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can use vegan butter or other plant-based alternatives.
- Experiment with different types of jam or preserves; you can try unusual combinations, such as ginger or orange.
- If you have time, let the cake sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up, which will make cutting and serving easier.
