High Tea

[jadeeyes]

I have done tea with my granddaughters when they were little. I bought hats for the girls and some clothes and jewelry for playing dress up. Since the girls had discriminating palate, I made ham and cheese sandwhiches and used cookie cutters to cut them into interesting shapes. I also served twinkies that I cut in half at an angle. Not exactly a proper tea, but it made for some fun memories.

Used to make tea parties for my oldest granddaughters (now 12 and 13) so they could bring their teddy bear friends. Had forgotten that. Thanks for reminding me

I love a good afternoon tea! Although I usually prefer to bake from scratch, a good mix is Sticky Fingers Scone Mix, which comes in all sorts of varieties. Some Double Devon or Clotted Cream and jam with the scones (usually found in the refrigerated import dairy). Some savories such as tea sandwiches, mini quiches, etc. and a few sweets (as if the scones aren't sweet enough!) make it a perfect setup.

One of my favorite teas is Yorkshire Gold served with cream (or half and half) and sugar.

I just starting drinking the Yorkshire Gold tea. Love it, just have a cup in the late afternoon instead of coffee. Hard to find here, so I searched ebay and found it. I'm kind of stuck on it now.... We lived in the UK for 3 yrs and loved going to have tea and scones, fresh strawaberries with that thick clotted cream. Oh yum. That was so much fun and great memories.
