At the age of 50, I recently fell in love with homemade "cheap afternoon tea", sharing a cup of tea and a plate of desserts, which made life better and added a full taste of "sweetness".
Choosing a good tea is key.
In the process, I discovered that some good tea leaves don't have to be expensive. I found a local green tea, with a fresh aroma and a unique taste that filled every sip with a natural taste. Moreover, compared to the tea estates outside, this homemade tea is not only economical, but also has more of the warmth of home.
While pairing with tea, I choose some simple and delicious desserts.
This doesn't mean buying expensive pastries, on the contrary, I like to make simple desserts with my own hands, such as multigrain biscuits, pralines, etc. This not only ensures the taste and freshness, but also controls the quality of the ingredients, and is a unique enjoyment of the food.
In terms of setting, I liked the simple and welcoming style.
Choose some small and delicate teacups and plates, and match them with some brightly colored fabrics, and the whole afternoon tea atmosphere becomes extra pleasant. This small arrangement makes me feel at home while enjoying the food.
Not only to take care of myself, but also to share this "cheap afternoon tea" with my family and friends. I often invite my friends and family over for a leisurely afternoon of tea at home on weekends.
This simple and warm gathering not only shortens the distance between each other, but also fills life with family and friendship.
Overall, through homemade "cheap afternoon tea", I discovered a new beauty in life. This is not only a kind of satisfaction for the pleasure of the mouth, but also an improvement in the quality of life.
A cup of tea and a plate of desserts may seem simple to outsiders, but for me, this is a small blessing in life, a touch of "sweetness" in life.
