The Most Delicious Vegan High Tea Recipes
For me, enjoying high tea is one of those wonderful food based experiences that I absolutely love. It’s a quintessentially English experience that even non-English folks can enjoy. What’s so wonderful about it is the chance to dress up, spend time with your favorite people, and spend a couple of hours eating finger foods, drinking tea, or the occasional mimosa.

I can’t rave enough about all of the ingredients that make these oaty biscuits (cookies) a homerun. Dark chocolate makes everything taste better and there are an endless number of reasons why hazelnuts are one of the tastiest nuts on earth.

I used to work with international students for 10 years and I would always get packages of dates from the Middle Eastern students.
