Scottish Tea at the Scottish Games!!

Leave a comment

We are excited to be serving Scottish Breakfast Tea at the St. Louis Scottish Games again this year

We were gratified last year to know you were happy to have a tasty cup of hot tea to drink when it got chilly and damp. We’ve made some changes so we hope not to have you waiting so long to get a fresh cup this year.
Queens Cuisine will be sharing tent with us too, serving scones with fresh clotted cream. (Note – clotted cream only available on Saturday). She too, has upped her baking so more of you can have “Cream Tea”.

Looking forward to beautiful weather and a great time, Friday evening & all day Saturday.

Red Berries

Hibiscus flowers, elderberries, bilberries, grapes, and citrus peel. 

Caffeine Free.  Excellent iced or hot! 

This was my go-to tea on our first really hot day of summer! 

As child of the 60’s, raised on Hi-C Fruit Punch and Kool-aid – one of the first things I did when I got home today was to make a pitcher of Red Berries tea to share with a friend who came to visit.  She commented on it tasting like Kool-Aid, but with no sugar or additives to have concerns about.  PURE Enjoyment!  …..I did add a little sugar to my glass 😉  YUM!

Then, it occured to me to put a little rice milk in my next glassful.  Mmmmm – berry cream-sicle.

Moms?  Looking for a healthy alternative to those “juice” drinks?

p.s. – It’s also GREAT hot.  

With its berry red color, it makes a lovely presentation in a pitcher, or if you are looking for red color themed beverages for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
