Created with Tregothnan Property Earl Gray Tea

After a steep however invigorating stroll up bucolic nation lanes and paths, previous beehives and over picket stiles, we have been met with a fantastic view of the river Fal after lastly reaching the tea terraces on this fascinating English Tea Property.

Tregothnan Property is close to Falmouth in Cornwall, and I used to be fortunate sufficient to be on an included tour when crusing in Viking Venus in 2021. Right here we walked amongst wild meadow flowers, historic orchards and grassy countryside tracks.

And, it’s from this magical journey to Tregothnan Property, that I created as we speak’s recipe for Earl Gray Fruit Scones, initially for Viking’s Discover Journal, which I contribute to frequently, with specifically created recipes, and journey tales.

These pleasant scones are infused with Earl Gray tea, which imparts a beautiful bergamot flavour to them, and they’re good when served with a pot of free leaf tea, and a few jam and clotted cream in fact.

The dried fruit can also be soaked in sizzling Earl Gray tea including an additional layer of citrusy and floral flavours, in addition to making the fruit further plump.

Serve these scones with butter and jam, or with clotted cream for a correct Cornish cream tea. (Don’t neglect it’s jam first in Cornwall too!)

I initially used Tregothnan Earl Gray tea on this recipe, from The Tregothnan Property in Cornwall – the primary tea gardens within the UK yielded the primary main crop for Britain’s first home-grown tea in 2005, creating the last word Britishness in each cup.

Nonetheless, you should use any prime quality Earl Gray tea that it’s important to hand, as I typically do. I hope you get pleasure from them in the event you make them, and don’t neglect that these Earl Gray Fruit Scones may also be served WITH a pot of tea too. Karen
