How lucky we are in the 21st century to be able to eat and drink in wonderful locations. Christmas is almost upon us again and that means entertaining indoors and out and complementing the mood with wine and some delectable teas.
Some seasons just seem to sharpen the appetite and Christmas time is the time to be generous with different flavourings, quantities and presentation of food and drinks. As the winter continues to chill and Christmas approaches, you maybe want to kick off with a delicious hot tea with friends and family and savour the fragrance of amazingly different teas.
Christmas afternoon tea at the Royal Lancaster London is always so special after a morning of Christmas shopping. The menu may not vary too much from the delightful rainbow cakes, royal pecan cakes, chocolate coconut balls, Christmas tartlets, cherry vanilla mousse, sausage rolls and finger sandwiches but the tea list will be particularly impressive this year.
On the menu, you’ll find the likes of black and green teas with exotic spices, teas flavoured with blackcurrant, peppermint, ginger or chamomile.
These fab Teas Make Every Tea-time a Treat
Who says tea has to be hot? Sometimes a citrus sweet tea is what you’ll want to quench your thirst. The tea includes pineapple juice, tea, cloves, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, crushed ice and garnished with lemon slices.
Bet you didn’t know that you can also have a bit of alcohol added into your favourite tea?
Christmas and the holidays are all about celebrating and sometimes that means combining bubbly with tea and doing it in style. Perhaps you fancy Chai Tea and Rye Whiskey or Irish Cream? Why not choose the spirit you love – rum, gin or vodka – and the Royal Lancaster London will spike your tea and turn your afternoon tea into a bright, festive, merry occasion.
Teas to Delight in over the Silly Season
Warm milk too is great on a chilly afternoon especially with a shot of brandy and rum. Some people just relish the traditional cuppa – tea with milk and sugar, loving the idea of washing down mince pies and fruit cake with the hot beverage. All these teas are ideal social drinks and fun to share with family and friends at a welcoming venue such as Royal Lancaster London.
Enjoy more than one tea-time
The best teas at Christmas are what make the festive season so special. It’s time to be a bit daring with your teas over Christmas, and the hotel in London will gladly oblige you with its magnificent choices, so why not treat your friends and family to more than one festive afternoon tea?
