This post comes ftom Jennifer Rose at http://www.jenniferrose.com. She is sharing tips and recipes for hosting a proper tea party. I will share recipes that stood out to me. The recipes will be based on the order which they are served.
FIRST COURSE: Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with Chive Butter would be a first course sandwich. You could add salmon to this.
SECOND COURSE: This is where you see scones. Rather they are sweet or savory, this is where they are. Cheese Scones with Plain Flour. CHEESE! Teading through the recipe link Jennifer provides, these scones remind me of the Red Lobster famous biscuits. For a sweet choice, Blackberry Scones. Here’s what is interesting about this recipe, it calls for buttermilk and plain yogurt. This is new. To me anyway.
THIRD COURSE: This is dessert. Strawberry and Mint Fruit Salad. Yeah! This would be a wonderful vareity for a tea party. It would contrast the breads in the first two courses. It would be sweet and tart.
ETIQUETTE: These tips from Jennifer are common sense things. Like dress appropriately, leave your cell in your purse, and don’t slurp your tea. What I didn’t think about is don’t blow on your tea. Let it cool.
Jennifer goes into detail about hosting a proper tea party. I am considering using Tuesday for Tea Parties. Why? They are an affordable way to host a get together. What do you think? Is something you’d like to see?
