Plant-Based Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is an English tradition. It is usually composed of finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and sweet pastries and cakes, along with tea, of course, sometime in the afternoon. Afternoon tea has become quite a popular American experience in recent years. For those of us who follow a whole food plant-based oil-free way of eating, choices are limited or non-existent. “Vegan” afternoon tea may omit animal products but still uses loads of plant-based butter and mayo. I wanted to have the afternoon tea experience with sandwiches and cakes I could fully enjoy and to share this with you so you could create your own tea experience. Also, I have been enjoying freshly brewed tea from leaves and that is an important part of a true tea experience. But, if you are too busy to make a fancy array of sandwiches and pastries, you will have enough recipes from this class to select one or two for a simple tea. A cup of tea, a sandwich, a homemade scone with fruit jam, and a chat with friends or family, is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
