This time of year is ‘eaten up’ (no pun intended) by food, friends, family, and fellowship. It’s a time when many of us celebrate, reunite with those we haven’t seen since last year, and when we who are responsible for the food and beverage duties are always on the lookout for wonderful things to make and bake.
As a tea person, I’m always looking for things that go well with tea, especially desserts that work wonderfully with teas and herbals. And, I’ve found some real yummy-sounding ones recently I’ll share here. They all go beautifully with tea: One is gluten-free, and some are perfect for dunking—yes, dunking—like a biscotti, just made to go well with our favorite beverage.
Enjoy!

- 11 delectable dunkers for tea, including Oatmeal Lavender Shortbread, which sounds amazing to me, a true shortbread lover.

I have to say the ginger drop cookies have my name and the thought of dunking them in tea……well, what can I say! The gluten free ones are perfect for my daughter. She’s got celiac so I’m always on the look out for dessert options for her.
Thanks Diane. You are so sweet – pun intended.
