• An afternoon affair – High Tea at home
  • By Ms. Taste

    What better way to spend your Sunday than a High Tea brunch with your very best girls?

    I always feel a little cheated paying $45 a head for High Tea. So I set out trying to recreate the special experience at home. I made all the staples the night before – scones, cupcakes, sandwiches and macarons, while my girlfriends each brought a little something as they arrived.

    In the end, we managed quite a spread of goodies. Blessed with perfect weather, we spent the afternoon sipping champagne, eating sweets and catching up.

    And on the High Tea menu was…

    * Vanilla cupcakes with raspberry and rosewater frosting
    * Trio of macarons – lemon cream, raspberry jam, peach & strawberry
    * Salmon sandwiches without crust
    * Fresh strawberries and cherries
    * Scones with freshly whipped
    * German pastries – cherry custard strudel, chocolate custard slice
    * Savory quiche tartlets
    * Assorted teas
    * Piper champagne
