Answer 3

Well, you've got to have tea cakes!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt



DIRECTIONS:

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture (the dough will be soft). Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.



Another fun idea would be to have a variety of loose tea makings (lavendar, jasmine, chamomile, etc.) and reuseable tea bags so that people can mix up their own blends.

Great idea. Have fun.
