Hi
Thanks for dropping by .
I love to make teas from things that grow in my garden - Lavender tea is one of my favourite. It freezes well. I have a lot of lavender in my garden so lots of free tea for me!
The young leaves or young flowers make the best tea - a few sprigs in a tea pot and let it steep for 10 to 15 minutes. Then pour into a nice broad cup so that you can best smell the tea. A white china cup is nicest - it needs sugar or best of all honey in it I find.
My lovely husband gave me some lavender honey for Christmas. It is really delicious. Its from Littleover apiary.
I often make scones - some butter, self raising flour, sugar and milk - flatten gently then bake on 180 degrees fan oven. I measure it by eye I'm afraid.
I laid a tray with all these goodies and put on Sunshine on Leith - a wonderful feel good film. The ending sequence makes you smile from ear to ear - its based on the music of the proclaimers and the song for the final sequence is - if I could walk 500 miles... I expect you know it.
Below is a link to the final scene - my favourite!
Anyway - my tea tray plus that film made for a lovely treat.
