With the days getting hotter and more humid, I tend to shy away from making tea time. I usually reinvent it with ice tea and keep it at that! But then I start missing the pure joy I get from pulling out my China and inviting a friend over for conversation and cup of tea. I know I say this a lot.. but it never goes away, the realization that life has me going a million different directions and I find myself wanting a time to make it stop.. so I can just sit for a moment and be blessed with a friend’s conversation or a moment with one of my loved ones. We have to make the time, or it just won’t happen. Take time to come up with your own summer inspired menu!

My Tea Menu celebrates our garden.

Cream cheese and fresh dill stuffed in garden mini tomatoes and cucumber slices

Fresh blueberry scones,with lemon curd

Pimento cheese and herb biscuits.

Dessert ending is a vanilla bean Panna Cotta and blackberry sauce.

Go, plan a summer tea with a special friend or group of friends! Be intentional, you will be so happy you did! Life is short, make tea time a regular celebration !
