Tea Time

It is the perfect time of year for a Tea.   Before my friends start gearing up for ball games and vacation,  this is an excellent way to connect with them, face to face.  Please do not miss understand me,  I like social media.  It is fun and quick. But just like food, sometimes, we need to slow down and enjoy the moment.  A tea is a way to truly connect.

On the menu for today's tea, Fig and Feta Salad.  It is sweet and salty.

The Moroccan Pastries have a crispy phyllo crust and a highly seasoned meat filling.

And for dessert, Spumoni Petit Fours.   Delicious layers of pistachio, coconut and cherry cake.

With a wonderful Darjeeling Black Tea.

This was a lovely day with great friends.  Thanks to Debbie, Shirley and Vangie for such an enjoyable afternoon.  The recipes for the food will post during the next three days.  But to hold you over, here is the way to make a great pot of tea.

For each cup, you will need 6 ounces of hot water and 1 1/2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea.  Let the tea steep for 5 minutes before straining and serving.

Enjoy!
