TEA TIME

Although is summer and hot outside, I keep my tea time as a sacred space where I meet with myself and sometimes with a dear friend.
I started this tradition when I was at University in Rome leaving at Clara's house.
Every day she would invite me to join in her sacred tea time space.
She would prepare an excellent tea with Ceylon tea leaves and serve it with a piece of lemon and a slice of jam tart.
I have kept this ritual alive everywhere I have been leaving but I have adapted the kind of teas I have been brewing to my different needs.
In South Africa I would use Roibos tea accompanied by scones, here in New York, as I am very conscious about healthy eating, I prepare Green tea and serve it with a variety of
"deliciously good for you" cookies.
Following is the recipe of crunchly tasty vegan cookies.
