Delicious Recipes for Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea comprises numerous savoury and sweet elements and it is an integral part of LittleSugarSnaps. Browse my collection of Delicious Recipes for Afternoon Tea.

For savoury elements my egg mayo sandwich is hugely popular along with cheese scones. Next, I recommend a classic sweet scone with Amaretto cherry jam and clotted cream. Finally for small sweets, my family adore my little pots of lemon posset and my coconut macaroons.
