The tea room celebrated a Red, White, and Blue Afternoon Tea on Sunday, July 3rd. Touches of red graced the table from red roses, to colorful red napkins, and old glory herself graced the centerpieces. Menus and tea lists carried out the red-white-and-blue theme, of course.
A refreshing Cranberry Tea Punch welcomed attendees as they gathered for this event. Once tea pots were poured, the tea service began. A Red, White, and Blue Berry Salad was the first course, complete with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and Feta cheese. A star shaped crouton topped the center of the salad, and an all American poppy seed dressing was drizzled over top.
The sandwich array included a Land of the Free Artichoke Chicken Salad Triangle. There was a Red, White and Blue Skewer that included blueberries, Monterey jack cheese, and a tomatoes. The in the USA! Spinach Basil Tomato Tart was served warm. There was a Home of the Brave Cucumber & Blueberry Round, a United we Stand Strawberry Honey Baguette, and The Stars and Stripes Fruit Sandwich. All decidedly red-white-and-blue.
The Independence Day English Cream Scone was served with Sweet Cream and Raspberry Preserves. The Happy Fourth of July! Blueberry Muffin and a 1776 Almond Cream filled Strawberry rounded out the plate.
To end the tea, we served Born in the USA! Almond Cookie, Give me Liberty White chocolate Berry Pie, and It's a Grand Old Flag Cherry topped White Cake.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Fourth of July!
