Tea Time, Anyone?

So, I have been hooked on this show called “Downtown Abbey” which is a 1900s British drama, and I have become fascinated by their way of living, specially their tea time.

Naturally, I love their accent, and the proper English phrases they use, but I cannot just start imitating the accent, I have to start with the tea….

As luck would have it I found these British pastries called ‘Crumpets’ at Trader Joe’s, and to my delight, they are delicious for breakfast or tea time I suppose…

This is the way I prepare them if you would like to give them a try:

1. Toast the crumpet in a sandwich press or toaster
2. Dribble some honey
3. Add fruit. I like to add blueberries, either whole or smashed, on top of the crumpet.
4. Enjoy!

Now for the tea, I need to do some more research, I would like to do it with loose-leaf in a kettle, so there will be a part 2 of this post.
