Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter, then press firmly into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes until slightly golden and cool.
Steep the Tea
  1. Boil 1 cup of water, remove from heat, and steep the Earl Grey tea bags for 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Mix the Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in cooled tea, vanilla extract, and sour cream, then add eggs one at a time.
Bake
  1. Pour the filling over the crust and bake at 325°F for 55-60 minutes until edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Cool
  1. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, combine mulberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened, then cool.
Serve
  1. Release the cheesecake from the springform pan, drizzle with mulberry sauce, slice, and enjoy!
