Virtual Tea Party 2020 – Christmas Edition

Today is the final Virtual Afternoon Tea for this year – and what a strange and frightening year it has been.

Su’s wonderful idea to bring us all together over our favorite tea treats and have a little chat each month was one of few highlights I had the great pleasure to enjoy this year. (Even though I kept waiting until the last possible minute to bake a little something to join each tea party! I guess I’ll never learn. 😉 )

Matcha cookies, coffee and a reindeer, Dec. 2020

And yes, it was no different this time because I baked this new interpretation of the German classic Christmas cookies “Angels’ Eyes” late yesterday evening and had to wait until morning for it be light enough to take a few pics.

Matcha Ado About Nothing

So what I’m offering you here are Matcha cookies with vanilla and red currant jelly. Full of antioxidants and whatnot you don’t have to feel guilty at all to stuff yourself with them (okay, there is butter in them – lots – but surely that’s healthy too? 😉 )

I love tea so matcha that I can even eat it!

Besides, it’s Christmas soon, so who cares about calories, right? We can always start loosing weight after the holidays – by which I mean the Easter holidays of course. 😉

Is that snow, dandruff or confectioner’s sugar on the cookies? No worries, it’s the latter because I love you so matcha! 😉

Please let me know how you’re doing these days! What’s happening in your part of the world?

Hope you enjoyed my little offerings and wish you a beautiful and peaceful Holiday Season!
