It is Wednesday! That means tea party day and lots of tea. Today we served homemade sugar cookies and strawberries dipped in chocolate sauce that hardens when it is gets cold. It is super easy to do – just heat some chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil until it is creamy and smooth, drizzle on or dip the strawberries, and put them on wax paper in the freezer briefly. Peel them off and serve.
This is the tea I chose to start with since we were having such sweet foods today and my guest really really loved the pairing. I like for the rich sweets and such to be paired with an unflavored sturdy tea usually, and it really worked today. The tea wasn’t harsh, but it didn’t disappear under the food.

TEA PARTY! That sounds glorious.
I think a tea party day sounds fantastic. I wonder if I could manage to set one up… :)
You should! Ours is pretty simple and falls together easily now. It started because I was teaching music students until late evening and would get hungry, so I would have my daughters prepare tea and a cookie plate for us to enjoy together on a quick break around four o’clock to tide us over until our late supper time. I invited a student to join us and she accepted, and eventually it became a tradition. Every Wednesday is tea party, we have all the plates, cups, and glasses ready and at hand, sometimes we bake and sometimes we don’t, but we always have three different teas! If many one has a scheduling conflict, we simply change the day.
