English Tea Experience

Do you have a sweet tooth? Have you ever had traditional English tea?
Well, if you haven't, the English Department is preparing a party for you. But we cannot do it alone, we need your cooperation.

The party will be on behalf of Rudraksha, a non-governmental organization which works in the development of women in northeast India.

All you have to do to participate is cook one of the typical recipes such as: gingerbreads, shortbread, scones, etc. You can find copies in the Department. Ask your teacher!

If you are not a confident cook, why don't you join other classmates and cook together for fun? You can always keep them in the freezer. Then on the 18/19 bring your cakes to the EOI for everybody to enjoy. What do you thin? Any other recipes to share?
