Time for Tea and Etiquette

Cucumber infused water with lemon and mint


We've been planning the menu part of the Princess Tea and Charm School event this Saturday and we know we will have little cucumber sandwiches and some sweet cakes of some kind. There will be compound bread and butter sandwiches and maybe cream puffs. But what to drink?  Tea right?

Well, yes. But what about a cold drink? It is summer after all.   Fruit infused water drinks are becoming popular and what little girl doesn't need to learn about cucumbers for cooling puffy eyes. We've been serving cucumber water at Glendower for teas thanks to volunteer Mark Howard who always makes a good sized batch. It's addictive.  The watermelon version sounds good as well. It seems that watermelon has some added benefit for your health in hot weather.

 
Add a little watermelon to the cucumber water. It's refreshing and good for you too.
