Cream tea recipes
A perfect way to share a relaxing moment with friends or family. Unlike a traditional afternoon tea with sandwiches and pastries, creams teas are very simple: scones, jam, cream of course – and piping hot tea. So, take a breather one afternoon soon, and remember: whether you put jam or cream first is up to you!
