Well, today we talk about the Tea party picnic.
On summer days, you do not want to have breakfast in a stuffy restaurant or on a crowded terrace.
The most ideal option is a delicious picnic with an incredible view!
Just imagine herbal tea, fresh bun, jam, and your favorite fruits… And this perfect breakfast away from the crowds of people and stuffy streets… in your personal place.
Maybe you will share a picnic tea party with your loved one? Or maybe it will be a small party with friends? Agree, all the options look very tempting.
But how to prepare for a picnic and not spoil your mood with a forgotten butter knife or overturned sugar?
We will not dive into the choice of location now, you can read more about it here.
However, perhaps we will help to pack the basket of tea party picnic correctly so that you have an unforgettable impression of this tea party.
How do you do a picnic tea party?
1. Choose a tea
Iced or hot? Traditional or flavorful? A terrific first step in organizing your drinks is selecting the tea you will offer during your picnic. You may carry hot water in a thermos and make teas on the road with our convenient tea for two travel sets if you’d like to have hot tea during your picnic.
If you want to cool down with some iced tea, you can either cold brew a pitcher to take with you or brew some tea in a couple of urban tea tumblers for quick iced tea in a smaller serving size. A perfect way is even to bring sparkling wine to “spice” your iced tea; Prosecco and Blueberry Pomegranate iced tea work particularly well together, in our experience.
2. Include scones
Tea and scones go together like bread and butter, making them the ideal delicacy for a fun picnic in the open air. Honey and tea preserves are excellent scones toppings whether you buy or bake your own.
3. Include something tasty
Sweet pastries are a staple of any successful tea party. Shortbread biscuits are a fantastic, travel-friendly choice. Check out our fruit crisps with mandarin and blood orange flavors for a lighter snack.
4. Include something savory
For a tea party picnic, savory tea sandwiches like cream cheese and cucumber, tomato and cheddar, and smoked salmon are all excellent choices. Another delectable picnic food suggestion is charcuterie boards with cheese, cured meats, almonds, and spreads.
5. Include something fresh
The best way to take advantage of the wealth of the season and give your picnic spread a bit more life and the color is to use fresh fruits and veggies. Local food is always a good choice for anything from flavorful seasonal fruits to farm-fresh salads. You may also add some fresh fruit to your iced tea as a garnish!
6. Ensure you bring the appropriate equipment.
Don’t forget to pack everything you’ll need for a successful picnic. This can be:
- Picnic blanket
- Plates
- Napkins
- Silverware
- Tea cups
- Sweetener for the tea
7. Don’t forget to call a nice company!
With close companions is one of the nicest ways to enjoy a cup of tea! A pleasant way to leave the house and spend time with friends, family, and loved ones in a stunning new location is to go on a summer-themed outdoor picnic.
What kind of food do you bring to a tea party?
Firstly, you should make the picnic menu:
Pastries and scones are among the many sweet foods often offered during traditional tea gatherings. You may either make some yourself or buy some at a nearby bakery.
At Victorian tea parties, finger sandwiches are a standard food item in addition to sweets. Sandwiches with cheese and lunchmeat are simple to make. Alternately, prepare a cheese and cracker plate so that you and your guests may graze on these flavorful items.
Add some cold-cut vegetables or fresh fruits to your plates to complete your picnic. Because they go well with tea, fruits are the most common choice for tea parties. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and melon slices are popular choices.
