Tea Party Tea Terms Word Scramble

Party time!

Are you ready for another Tea Party game?

So for my 29th Birthday Jane Austen Tea Party, I shared a few tea themed games we played. Yesterday we had our tea advent swap with friends and had to come up with a game. I was trying to decide between the Tea Tray Memory Game and a Tea Trivia game, when I decided to do a Tea Terms Word Scramble.

I love doing word scrambles, and thought this would be so much easier as I wouldn’t have to bring any items or worry about it being too hard for anyone (I struggle with making my trivia too hard or too easy).

I also thought this would be a lot of fun, and it did turn out to be. I have the game below if you would like to use it and I have included the answers after the image. Enjoy!

Mock Clotted Cream

So a few years ago when I went to visit my college friend she took me to a teahouse she had visited and knew I would love. She was right, I thought it was beautiful, had great food, and since then have gone back every time I return to that area.

The first time I went was the first time I had ever had clotted cream. I thought it was amazing and that scones were one hundred times better with it. In fact it made me just want to keep eating.

Or scones

Since then every time I make scones I wish I have some clotted cream to go with them.

Well you think, that’s easy-just head to the store.

Majorly

You can’t get it in any store around here. I’ve looked online, but it will take ages and you have to order a ton of it.

So after all that, I decided that I would just try to make my own.

This recipe comes from my sister blog, MysteriousEats.wordpress.com.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup of Sour Cream (Can substitute with Plain Greek Yogurt)
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Cup of Heavy Cream
• 2 Tablespoons of Confectioner’s Sugar (Powdered Sugar)

 

Directions:

1. Fold vanilla into sour cream (or yogurt).
2. Beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Fold the sugar into the cream.
4. Fold this mixture into the vanilla/sour cream (yogurt) mixture.

It was delicious and a perfect addition to tea time.

Thoughts Before Cooking:

So I was going to make scones for a tea party and pulled out this recipe I had clipped from an old O- the Oprah magazine.

The magazine article is about Patrice Clayton opening up a tearoom in Harlem. This article must be really old though because the website hasn’t been updated since the mid 2000s and on Yelp it appears that it has closed down. 😦 That’s too bad.

The article gives three versions of the recipe: Baking Powder Scones, Cheddar-Thyme Scones, and Raisin Scones. I only had the ingredients for the Baking Powder one, but I will test out the others and post when I do.

This recipe is designed to go with clotted cream and strawberry jam.

Ingredients:

• 8 Tbsps (1 Stick) of Cold, Unsalted Butter, Cut into Small Pieces, Plus Extra for Baking Sheets
• 3.5 Cups of All-Purpose Flour, Plus Extra for…
