Tea Party Tuesday ~ Honey Lavender Sorbet

Happy Tea Party Tuesday!!

Wow...it has been awhile since I have actually
sat and had tea lately! Summer has been very busy and fun.

This week I would love to share the most 
delicious sorbet I made recently.  Perfect for summer! 

Honey Lavender Sorbet.



Full printable recipe can be found by clicking HERE.


Filling a hollowed out lemon half dusted with sugar was a great
way to serve the fresh sorbet!! PRETTY.
It was really a tasty combo of flavors and easy to pull off. 
FYI -  I purchase my culinary lavender
at Amazon.com but I think it can be found at Whole Foods. 

Now onto the TEA!!  At the beginning
of the summer I experimented making my own different flavor
combo's of iced tea & by far the one that I continue to 
whip up on a regular basis is:

STRAWBERRY PEACH MINT ICED TEA 



For each 8 oz glass I used about 3/4 cup sun brewed iced
tea and then I added a shot glass each of both peach and 
strawberry nectar.  I then topped it off with a splash of 
mint simple syrup and stirred!

Mint Simple Syrup recipe can be found HERE.

Serve over ice!!

I have really missed posting for tea time and stopping
by to say hello. However, I have been doing
some new and exciting things which is exciting.
I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!!!

Hugs

The Panna Cotta is infused w/ lavender (oh heaven!)

a thin fondant flower and edible sugar pearls
this is sure to delight the eyes and taste buds!

I am BANANAS over you, Valentine ~ Banana Chocolate Malt Shake with Printable




Banana Chocolate Malt Shakes






I would be LYING if I said I had a 
real recipe for this but, truth is, I don't.
I put a couple of questionable bananas in the blender
& heaped in a LOAD of chocolate malt powder, a LOAD.
Next, I sprayed in a LOT of chocolate syrup and 
to stay "healthy" added some SKIM milk.
Then some ice went in and I pushed PUREE' 



 It tasted SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.
Of course drinking it out of these 
shot glasses and dipping our marshies
and eating our chocolates, added the amazing
WOWIE factor to this experience. 



Try it, you will be so glad you did!

Happy Tea Party Tuesday ~ Gingerbread Waffles with Earl Grey Syrup


Happy Tea Party Tuesday!

This week I am joining the 
Gingerbread Christmas Tea
hosted by the LOVELY, 
Wanda Lee!!
and Pam!! 



I had the most amazing experience a few weeks ago.
My husband and I joined our dear friends
and neighbors on a weekend retreat to
Stillwater, MN where we escaped for
a few days into Victorian bliss. 



We stayed the historic Ann Bean Mansion and were
treated like royalty by the amazing Innkeepers,
Erin and Jeremy. They were beyond wonderful. 

photo from their website - see link 


I can not say enough about our experience there, it was truly a magical time. The rooms were so beautiful & well appropriated and the food along with presentation was
*****5 GOLD STARS*****







To visit a link to their website click HERE.




The weekend was extra special because the
Bed & Breakfast's of Stillwater were hosting 
their annual Progressive Christmas Tea and Tour 
of each establishment. It was quite a feast for the senses!



It certainly got both my sweetie and I into the
Christmas spirit and we enjoyed the weekend very much. 
We both needed to escape the hustle and bustle!














One of the B&B's we toured was the 
Lady Goodwood, and while there, we were
treated to a wonderful Raspberry Punch that was 
delicious! My good friend Kim was able to 
score the recipe for us, THANKS KIM!!!


Good friends, Good memories!! Thanks Guys!!


Lady Goodwood's  
Raspberry Punch




Ingredients
1 10oz package of frozen raspberries
1 28 oz bottle of ginger ale
2 cups raspberry juice
2 cups apple juice
1 cup lemon juice
2 cups water
1 pint raspberry sherbet


Preparation
Spoon sherbet into punch bowl. 
Combine apple juice, water, sugar and lemon juice, stir until 
sugar dissolves.  Add raspberries, still until raspberries separate. Slowly add carbonated beverage. 
(makes about 25 4oz servings)


YUM!


How about a delicious Gingerbread Waffle
with Earl Grey Syrup to go with these yummy drinks?


I made these especially for our hostess, Wanda Lee!!
