Making Scones


Sticky Fingers scone mix- comes in around 8-10 blends.  And all you do is add water!!  Super easy and really delicious.

You can get these in gluten free too.  I am not a huge fan of their gluten free ones. but they are okay. 
I tend to get these at World Market, they run less than $7 if I remember correctly.  I get around a dozen a batch.

My ALL TIME FAVORITE MIX!!
Scones from Scratch- just all whipping cream.  They come in 8-10 blends as well. I love love love these scones.  They are moist and so scrumptious!!

These come gluten free too.  They are okay, I almost rather splurge and get the regular ones. lol.
I get around 13 really nice size scones per batch.

I made a batch of blueberry scones and chocolate chip/scone scones.
They were incredible!!!



Trying one of each.  Both good!  The Sticky Fingers one is a little more dry in comparison, but still really good.


At my office, we have to bring in our own birthday treat, lol.  So, I brought in treats that go well with tea!

On the top plate is orange cookies with chocolate and shortbread cookies.
Second plate are the chocolate chip coconut scones.
On bottom plate are the blueberry scones.


These were a big hit at work!!!



Do you have a scone recipe or mix you like?  Please share :)

Iraqi Earl Grey tea tasting with Mahmood Tea and Ahmad Tea

 I have not been home very long and I was already itching to try some of the Earl Grey teas I bought in Kurdistan.


I bought three kinds of Earl Grey; I decided to taste test the Mahmood and Ahmad ones against each other.  


Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Black Tea with bergamot

Ahmad Earl Grey 


Black tea from Kenya and India with bergamot


https://ahmadteausa.com/products/earl-grey-1?variant=31939144613963

I made them the exact same way.  6 scoops of tea, 1/4 cup of sugar. Steeped 10 minutes.
If I were doing just a cup of tea, I would only steep 5 minutes, but for a gallon of tea I steep 10 minutes.


What I have made a concentrate basically by steeping the tea.  I then will fill the remaining pitcher with water and put in the fridge.


For me there was one clear winner.  One tea was just too perfumy for me.

For me, the winner was Mahmood Earl Grey.  

Ahmad Earl Grey was too perfumy- too much bergamot.  I ended up adding Lavender syrup to the Ahmad iced tea to help the flavor. 
I did make it again with the Ahmad and I only used 4 1/2 scoops of tea.  It was still a bit perfumy for me, so I added lavender to it too.

I am a fan of the Mahmood Earl Grey.  The bergamot was lighter than the Ahmad and I was able to get all the tea notes.  I could taste the black tea and also have notes of bergamot.

I still have the Earl Grey from Apple Tea to try too.

These are all the teas I came home with, lol!
