Greetings!

Valentine's Day provides for us the perfect time to celebrate the gift of love of that special someone, spouse, friend or family member.  A cup of tea like a "hug in a mug" is a warm way to show someone how much you care and appreciate them.  An afternoon tea presents a wonderful opportunity to share your feelings thru conversation, delicious food and satisfying tea.  Enjoy our Chocolate Lover's Valentine Afternoon Tea complemented with a tempting cup of one of our new featured teas for February.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Strawberry Spinach Salad
Sun-dried Tomato Biscuit with Turkeychocolate truffles

Raspberry Walnut Delights
Chocolate Mint Truffles Served in Valentine Themed Paper Mini Muffin Tin Liners


Recipes can be found in "Teatime in Gettysburg" and "Lunchtime in Gettysburg" available for purchase on our website.  

Sun-Dried Tomato Biscuit with Turkey

2 C flour
1T baking powder
1 T sugar
1 t salt
1 stick frozen butter(1/2 stick)
2 eggs
� C buttermilk
1/3 C sun-dried tomatoes
1 T finely chopped fresh thyme (can substitute 1 t dry thyme)

When making these, the most important thing to remember is not to overwork the mixture or the dough.

Spray baking sheet with vegetable oil and preheat oven to 400.  Combine dry ingredients.  Cut in butter using a pastry blender or food processor.  Do not over mix.  Mixture should resemble pea sized clumps.  In a separate bowl, combine eggs and buttermilk. Add tomatoes and thyme.  Add this mixture to dry mix and combine by hand or in food processor.  Turn out onto floured surface and roll to � inch thickness. Cut into circles using 2 inch biscuit cutter.  Bake for 12 minutes.  We found using thinly sliced smoked turkey breast from the deli is delicious with thetulipsse biscuits.

To make your Valentine table more festive, use pots of fresh pink, red, or white flowers such as cyclamen or tulips which can be found at your local grocery store for the center of your table.  Surround them with a red feather boa and you will have an instant centerpiece.  Consider giving these flowers to your guests as a memento of the wonderful time shared by all.   Garnishing you tea tray with conversation hearts can also be quite entertaining.
