Aren't these sweet?
A cheerful little teapot with flowers indicative of the beauty of Summer...
paired with a beautiful cup of freshly brewed lavender tea.
I love the subtle gilding on the rim of the cup and top of the teapot. So delicate. The two are from different makers, but they play quite nicely together. ;-)
To make Lavender tea, simply steep culinary lavender in a tea infuser. It can be done in the pot or cup. I enjoy the tea with a splash of lemon, and a tiny bit of honey and sugar.
The lavender tea was steeped in this darling little teapot infuser. So cute!
The tea was quite lovely with a slice of my Nue Gâteau au Citron avec Infusion des Raisins Blancs, set here on a miniature fluted cake plate.

These light flavors are delicate and just right for a warm Summer day.
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful weather!
Until next we meet...

DeleteAnd here's that wonderful cake too! I love the teapot and recognize it as one I used to carry years back in my Colorado shop. I recall cups and saucers too that all came assorted. Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bernideen...I really like this pattern too, which is atypical for me, because I usually prefer blue and white. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteWhat a beautiful summer tea! I'm admiring your pretty teapot--Sadler is one of my favourite teapot makers.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margie! I enjoy them as well; I especially like the scalloped detail. Thank you for stopping by!
