How Do You Enjoy Your Tea?

Disclosure: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Lipton Green Tea Superfruit

One thing that I miss about living in Australia is morning and afternoon tea. Ever since I was a little girl, my mum has served morning and afternoon tea to anyone who is in the house. We sit around the table and enjoy a cuppa (a little Aussie slang for you) with a variety of treats and catch up with one another. Sometimes there will be biscuits, other days there may be sticky buns, scones, or even an assortment of treats such as chocolates and nuts. One of my favorite treats to enjoy with tea (aside from scones with jam and cream) is biscotti.

Lipton Green Tea Purple Acai and Blueberry

I need to bring back that tradition. Although I have always served the kids morning and afternoon tea, we haven't sat around the table catching up and talking about our day, we seem to be so busy that we are all running in different directions. Unfortunately during the weekdays it is just me at home for morning tea while the kids are at school and my husband is at work, but beginning this week, we will start having afternoon tea together, and on the weekends when we are home, we will have both. I am really looking forward to it.
