Tea and Treats
Tea and Treats: Perfect pairings for brews and bakes | Liz Franklin
10 posts | 3 to read
And if youre going to be picky about your single-estate tea, you should be equally discerning about your accompanying cake, hence the appearance of fine patisserie like clairs and macarons. In this beautiful and timely book, Liz Franklin marries the floral, fragrant, zesty, rich, and varied world of tea with the endlessly popular world of baking and offers 60 recipes matching teas and sweet treats. There are white, green and black teas, fruit teas (some of which you can make yourself with dried fruit), iced teas and bubble teas, and each one is paired with a complementary small treat. For example, olive leaf tea with pine nut cookies; sweet basil tea with white chocolate and redcurrant brownies; passionfruit and orange tea with sticky oat breakfast bars; and rooibos and vanilla tea with malted milk cookies to calm and relax you before bed. Liz also explains the history and benefits of tea so that you can become a true connoisseur.

Loose-leaf Links is a feature where I gather together the interesting bits and pieces on sci-fi, fantasy and romance I've come across and share them with you over tea.

In today's news, there are a ton of awards open for nominations, including the Ditmars and the Norma K. Hemming. And the Australasian Horror Writers Association is making a comeback.

Thank you, @Leniverse.

My daughter immediately shouted "Monkey tea!" - you know, because of the PG tips monkey.

I hid the rest of the box. ?

hlgreenfield PG tips is my go to tea for a good strong cup! It is a great blend. On special occasions I go to the twinnings Earl grey or Lady Grey because they are delicious. 7y
julesG @hlgreenfield Yep, give me some builder's tea now and then. My friends find this very funny, given that I often drink very posh tea (Kusmi, etc) l. 7y

Survived a day of assessing people's spoken English.

Now tea for my voice and Designated Survivor on TV. Can't be bothered to read right now, I'd probably look for grammar mistakes and examples of excellent use of English.

Will certainly read later. No #photochallenges today, though.

Tamra Do you teach ESL? 7y
Cathythoughts Enjoy 😉 7y
julesG @Tamra Yes, teach and examine. Have been doing it for the past 18 years. 7y
Tamra @julesG wow! I‘ve always been attracted to the idea of it. 7y
julesG @Tamra Go for it. It's a challenging, yet satisfying job. 7y
