On Sunday August 9th I hosted a tea at my apartment. I will say I have missed entertaining a group...and last Sunday I had 7 guests for tea. I decided to make chilled strawberry soup with whipped cream on top...I made two cold drinks, definitely not traditional for tea but it is summer...so I made a Peach/Mango/Orange Spice Iced Tea with mint and a Raspberry Fizz drink for kids who may not like tea...I had 2 kids and 2 teens attending. I also made Huckleberry Tea as the hot tea selection. I made sandwiches....salmon and cream cheese (doctored with dill and garlic), peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and fluff, ham (two options, one with munster and mustard and one with my cream cheese ranch spread) and cucumber sandwiches. We also had huckleberry scones with honey or cherry jam...and then the dessert was a half a sponge cake with mandarin oranges and blueberries and whipped cream on top...everything seemed to be a hit...everyone dressed up and most wore hats! It was great fun! I host a second tea on Sept 13th and I am very much looking forward to it!
