...together with a cup of Twining's English Breakfast tea in my favourite Giens filet bleu cup...
made a wonderful setting for afternoon tea at my desk...
Yum!
Perfect for cheering up a dismally cloudy and rainy day. I wish that I could have shared them with you :)
Macarons are now one of my favourite treats. I had been deprived of them during lockdown. Being in level 4 lockdown for 5 weeks, and now level 3, for me, means no going out to the shops. However I discovered that the supermarket, that we get our groceries delivered from, sells mini-macarons which are made in France. I couldn't resist ordering some.When my shopping arrived, the macarons were the first thing that I unpacked. I was surprised at how small they were (about 2.5 cm in diameter), but the flavours certainly made up for the size.
They came in a box of 12, with 6 different flavours; lemon, pistachio, vanilla, caramel, chocolate and raspberry.
I enjoyed biting into the thin crisp outer layer, to be met with soft chewy yumminess, then a flavour-packed creamy filling. Perfection! A drink of tea between flavours cleansed my palate for the next flavourful experience. Bliss!
Do you take time out to have afternoon tea? What is your favourite treat?
