Tea On Tuesday

 


“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
 C.S. Lewis

“Sometimes all you need is a good cup of Tea”
– Unknown

“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.”
 William Ewart Gladstone

“Rainy days should be spent at home with a cup of tea and a good book.”
 Bill Watterson

Here is my go to recipe for scones.

Sweet Scones

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

8 Tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut up

1/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup milk

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub with fingers until looks like fine granules. Add sugar - toss to mix. Add milk and stir with a fork until soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured board - knead about 10-12 times. Roll out 1/2 inch thick; cut with a round cutter. (I use a small canning jar) Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 12 minutes until brown. Cool o
n a wire rack.

I hope you enjoyed these tea quotes and if you make the scones, let me know!

  4. I keep a tea tag journal. It's a kind of memory book where I write down what happened on the day I drink tea...which is often so I usually only write the special days. I added two of these quotes to my tea journal. I'm always looking for ones I haven't read before.
