Tea with edible flowers Part 2

Welcome!
All kaleidoscopes by inkspired and KaleidoCam


I do love tea parties, and tea cups
and all that goes with it.




I think of tea cups as a little piece of art
and history that I can own, and enjoy.



Let’s have some more tea party flower fun!

I am excited to try out some edible flower recipes now!

Flavored ice cubes, Let’s Mingle blog, Pinterest 

I was surprised to learn there are so many
flowers that you can eat.
Do pay attention and do a little research.

There are some flowers that you can only eat certain parts.
Sometimes only 1 part is edible,
and the other parts can make you quite sick.

Then there are those flowers that eating 1 or more parts
can actually lead to death.



You can never be too careful, or informed.
Not sure about a flower part?
Don’t eat it until you have checked it out.

Isn’t the internet a marvelous thing?

The photo above shows full bloom dandelions,
but actually you want to pick the flower heads when
they are still fairly tightly curled and low to the ground.
Once the bloom becomes full it will have a bitter taste.


But hey, the photo looks pretty!
Here is another pretty photo using dandelions.
I want to try this recipe out too!

I think this peony jelly is just beautiful.
What a great gift idea for those hard to buy for friends.
Your homemade peony jelly is sure to be unique!

Follow the link and you should find the exact recipes
for all the photos I am posting.
If you have trouble finding one,
simply use your search engine to type in the recipe name.

Here are a few ideas on how to set 
a beautiful tea table.
You need to show off all your wonderful
food and flowers you made.
I will address the tea table in a later blog!




While the china does not ‘match’, it works because it is all
in the same color groups, and strength of color.
Pastel with pastel
Blue, pink and white


Remember 
your food items are part of the decorations also.
Take a little time to make them extra pretty.

I apologize for being so slow in putting
out more blogs.
I look for a teapot photo, go off on a bunny trail
and end up looking at Civil War era
photographs that have been colorized realistically...

Til next time,
