Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add melted butter; mix until resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a greased springform pan. Pre-bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10 mins until golden, then cool.

  3. Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth, about 2 mins. Gradually add cooled Earl Grey tea and sour cream, mixing until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling over crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 mins until edges set and center jiggles slightly. Cool completely.
  5. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Combine mulberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer for 10-12 mins until thickened. Strain if desired.
