Some Easy Snack Idea For Tea Time


The best option in tea time nibbles is sandwiches. Sandwiches form the ideal companion for the tea. They are very quick to prepare and also keeps you full for long. The obvious options are the chicken sandwiches or the vegetable sandwiches. If you're in a mood for some experimentation, you may also go in for your self made types. Some other good options are cucumber mint sandwiches, goat cheese and watercress sandwich, egg salad sandwiches and plenty more. The Toasted teacakes are yeast based and taste light and sweet with dry fruits like currants, sultanas and peels added to them. You can split and toast them a touch before serving. Butter them for extra taste during tea time.Yet one more great option in this context is Victorian tea straws.

If you are a potato lover then having roasted potatoes for tea could well bring a grin on your face. You may need baby potatoes for this. These are simple to make and taste great too. Boil baby potatoes. Peel them and marinate them in the dressing and spice of your choosing. Put them in the microwave for a few minutes and you are done. You're going to relish every single bite that you eat.

Vegetable cutlets are another interesting tea time recipe. Get all the vegetables that you have at home. Half boil these vegetables and let them cool. Keep more of potatoes and less of other plants. Now, mash all the plants with your hands and turn them into dough. Add a slice of bread or 2 as this can make the binding of the vegetables easier.
