5 High Tea Snacks To Pair With Your Afternoon Cuppa

By Aanchal Mathur

A British tradition, high tea has been named so for the fact that it was served on a table.

It refers to tea-time paired with bite-sized sweet and savoury items such as classic scones with cream and cookies. 

The 4-5pm tradition and concept of tradition of British aristocrats has slowly peeped into many parts of the world. Here is all that you can include in a high tea menu. 

Matcha Tea Macarons

Macarons are French cookies filled with flavoured pastry. This one here is made with matcha powder, a great antioxidant containing the nutrients of green tea leaves. 

Buttermilk Scones

Crispy, fluffy scones made with flour, soda, cream of tartar, and butter along with caster sugar and buttermilk makes for a refreshing tea-time treat. 

Puff Pastry

Light, flaky and delicious, puff pastry is made with just four basic ingredients; flour, water, butter and salt.

Banana And Chia Tea Cake

Packed with the goodness of banana and crunch of chia seeds, this teacake with a sprinkling of sugar on top, is the perfect high tea recipe to serve.
