As you already know I have a great fondness for tea. Well tea and all things caffinated to be exact. What better way to spend a cheery afternoon than with friend having a tea party! After much thought here was the menu I finally decided on:
Assorted Sandwhiches on mini croissants:
Egg Salad
Smoked salmon and cream cheese
Pesto, smoked turkey and Brie
Various Pastries to include:
Chocolate walnut brownies
Nanimo bars
Coconut macaroons
Chocolate and marshmallow bars
Layered fruit salad drizzled with blueberry honey. Now contrary to most typical fruit salads I make mine with a little more flair. Applepear, blackberries, gala apple, anjou pear, blueberries, mango, black grapes, and strawberries! Whatever is in season and tastes good! If you have never tried fruit drizzled with honey I strongly suggest you do. Not only does it add a beautiful natural sheen to your salad but the subtle sweetness is divine!
As a special treat a friend brought over homemade strawberry shortcakes! FABULOUS! A light and slightly sweet scone with strawberries and creme fraiche!
To serve with this, it was decided that a creamy earl grey would be the right choice. I don't imagine we could have made a wrong choice, after all it was tea! Unfortunately we were too full to do a taste test on the Organic Vanilla Oolong that another friend had brought but later was another story!
