Even with so many wonderful high tea venues, sometimes the best way to enjoy a beautiful high tea can be from the comfort of your own home. Nothing impresses guests like a stunning spread of home-cooked wonders. Craving a savoury snack? Got a penchant for pastries? Or perhaps you’re more of a sweet tooth? Any way you like your high tea, we’ve got you covered with High Tea Society’s collection of recipes.
Scone Recipes:
Scones; light and fluffy, dressed with fresh jam and rich cream are the backbone of the High Tea experience. Modern re-imaginings of the traditional recipe help to bring an array of new flavours to the table. The perfect pair for a classic scone is jam and cream. For those with the patience, homemade jam allows you to experiment with flavours outside the standard strawberry or apricot. Take inspiration form recipes recommended by the best purveyors of High Tea in the business.
