Lemon Tea Biscotti

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter OR margarine, softened
4 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/4 cup NESTEA® Unsweetened Instant 100% Tea
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup chopped pecans

1. PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
