October’s Afternoon Tea

I got 100 lemons from my garden this year.

For 10years there had been no lemons on my lemon tree.

We made “lemon curd” (like a jam) using these lemons this month.

We made lemon curd tarts in which lemon curd is used.

We also made pumpkin scones. We ate these with sour cream  and sweet azuki beans.

These were really refreshing.

The leftover tart dough was used to make Halloween biscuits. It was a really good idea!

We made 2 kinds of sandwiches.

One was with persimmons and honey, and the other was with apples and honey.

They are autumn sandwiches. We drank 2 kinds of rooibos tea.

One was sweet potato, pumpkin, and chestnut rooibos tea,

and the other was spiced rooibos tea.

Both were really good .

We ate and drank them wearing Halloween costume. All the students looked happy.
