The school holidays are a great time for things a little extra special for the kids. The latest craze seems to be mothers enjoying high tea with their daughters however I have two boys that I know would love to attend one. Then of course my two year old tea party mad daughter would not miss it for the world. I cannot take all of them, my husband and my newborn baby to a fancy pantsy high tea.
High Tea At Home With Tea Infused Jelly
So instead we have improvised! High tea at home is just as special and without the added stress of my children being loud, animal like or fretting over something being broken.
Aeroplane Jelly sent me an amazing pack of tea infused jelly, gorgeous tea cups and a cake stand to share the experience with my family. We have definitely enjoyed it. In all honesty, we have now attended several high teas (at home) and the kids have helped prepare the food.
We have enjoyed: croissants, scones, brandy snaps, fresh fruit, raspberry licorice jelly cheesecake, mini trifles, melted snowman and vanilla mudcake cupcakes. Beverages have included: tea, coffee and juice.
We used some of the new tea infused Aeroplane Jelly to create a mixed berry trifle, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to photograph it before the kids got into it. Take my word for it though, it was delicious! The fragrant new jellies are low in sugar and calories but do not lack in taste. They are full of flavour and there is a range to suit every taste. My favourite is the raspberry licorice, which really surprised me as I am not the biggest licorice fan. Other flavours include: Peach tea, lemon tea, orange blossom, raspberry licorice and mixed berry tea.
I have included below the recipe for the Mixed Berry Breakfast Trifle.

Trifle! Delicious, decadent dessert that we only have for special occassions like Christmas. I wish I could post a photo of the amazing trifle my teen son made – it was so very good! Chunks of stale sponge cake spread with homemade raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, and a can of black cherries including the juice, covered with raspberry Aeroplane jelly and put into the fridge to set. Topped with custard and a little cream and sprinkled with chopped nuts and chocolate bark made by the kids! Yum! And now I want some…
My diet is the CH diet….cheese chocolate chips. Love them all nomnomnom
Chocolate! Not really food but my favourite…favourite food would be almost anything Italian!
BBQ pork buns at yum cha. Best tasting bread ever.
Lasagne. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for all eternity and never tire of it. Even better when done with our home grown herbs and tomato’s. Wife makes the best home made pasta sheets too. I am one lucky man indeed.
I have two, and can’t choose one over the other: Pizza & Souvlaki, both equally and utterly delicious on so many levels, made all the more better by the fact that they’re the two things of love that do not come out of my kitchen, made by me!!!!!
I love chocolate,
I cannot lie,
In a block or in a pie,
Melted and oozing in a pud
it doesn’t matter it just tastes good.
Breakfast , lunch or tea
Chocolate is the favourite food for me!
My favourite food is seafood pizza. Absolutely mouthwatering and something I could eat all the time.
Bananas with nutella on the BBQ- followed by jelly shots! Hello jello!
When I was a child, there were foods I wanted to try just because they had a freaky name. Growing up with an English father and Irish mother helped because the English love an eccentric name (Spotted Dick anyone?). One of them was Toad In The Hole.
I loved the book The Wind in the Willows and I had always imagined that this dish was linked to Mr Toad from Toad Hall and that by eating it I’d be transported to Toad Hall to hang out with Mr Toad.
The Toads are sausages and they poke out from pastry which is like a giant Yorkshire Pudding, the Hole. Today it is still a favourite of mine and one I have passed on to my Greek niece only we gave it a bit of a Mediterranean feel by adding basil, Italian sausages and baby vine ripened tomatoes. Traditionally it’s made using pork sausages and rosemary.
My husband loves it and devours it each and every time I produce it. The session ends with him patting his stomach after seconds and I’m reminded that I am in the presence of my own lovable rogue, my very own Mr Toad.
Finger food, easy to eat food, snack style food. otherwise anything with seafood it in 🙂
Fruit and veggies, because if I say something different, I’ll incur the wrath of my dentist twin sister!
My favourite food is pizza! I think I like it so much because my parents could never afford it when I was young and now I’m compensating!! Hehe
Chocolate’s my biggest indulgence, it can drown out deafening screams
It can turn your worst nightmares into the sweetest of dreams
If there’s a darkened tunnel, it’s the light at the end,
It comforts and cheers you up more than any best friend 😉
It stops childish tantrums, and band-aids can’t compare
To fix any ache or pain, you just need chocolate to be there!
It’s a companion as you cry through The Notebook yet again
And satisfies much more than any golden-egg-laying-hen!
Greek yogurt. It’s versatile! I use it in baking, in my healthy version pancake mix, or eat it on its own with fresh berries for a sweet treat. Greek yogurt bark is another simple yet tasty frozen treat for summer that’s super easy to whip up and the kids and I both love it.
I can’t go past eggs Benedict. Well done of course.
Not a runny one and lots of hollandaise sauce.
Even better on fruit bread.
It’s enough to give up a sleep in and get out of bed.
Pavlova made the way mum used to make it , not store bought bases for her but real bases made with eggs and meringue, heaps of fresh strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas and passionfruit and they had oodles and oodles of freshly whipped cream.
Hot Cross Buns! Not only do they taste great but they are only available for a short time each year which makes the all the more special! Toasted and smothered in real butter – yum!
Pasta. There are endless sauces to serve with it. Indulgent sauces for special occasions, low fat when I’m starting to look a little, well, rounded and creamy sauces when I’m feeling a little blue.
homemade Lasagne because I know what goes in it & can serve with salad, garlic bread or chips
I love salt water taffy my granny taught me how to make it the old fashion way many many moons ago. It’s something I treasure and remember now she’s gone. I will be teaching my kids wen they are older
Tiramisu. It means ‘cheer me up’ and it most certainly does. Make it with Kahlua and I have the perfect excuse not to share it with my kids.
oh my Chocolate Mud Cake sends me to heaven with every bite and more heavenly when it is shared
Chocolate so creamy, so tasty and delicious!
Aeroplane Jelly Lite tea Infusions of course, but next favourite is chocolate, any type any time.
potatoes cooked any way
Iced cupcakes – there is something warmly comforting in nostalgic foods
Pasta quick and easy and i can add anything on hand to it
just simple chocolate!
mangoes! perfect all by themselves!
Pizza! You can put whatever you want on it, but I don’t think there’s anything nicer than a classic Margherita!! <3
Cucumber cut into coins, with a dollop of cream cheese and slither of salmon, delicious, nutritious and a little elegant too!
Jelly.My doctor says that Jelly is an approved weight loss dessert.Best news ever!
My favourite food it green peas because I think they taste delicious and I like the texture! I know, I’m strange 😉
Spag bog – the only thing I cook that everyone will eat – so everyone eats it and then we all get to have jelly for dessert.
Love it, pick me.
Can you beat an old fashioned lemon cheesecake, using lemon juice to set the cream cheese, with a thin layer of bright yellow jelly on top? Don’t think so! Perfect with a cup of tea and a good book.
Sausage roll, great for a feed when you go to the servo, on the way home munchie, love making homemade ones
Anything fruity, or that once was fruit, or fruit flavoured, or slightly resembling fruit.
Anything covered in cream….cake, donuts, ice – cream, my husband…..
Chocolate. I don’t mind sharing my food with people but if they try to take my last bit of chocolate and I don’t have anymore, they might loose an arm.. just saying 😛
Anything chocolate is a girls best friend
Brownies, they are so delicious!!
I have a Doctorate in chocolate

Must admit my reaction to tea infused jelly was : hmmmm … yeah … okay … that may work. I’ll have to get some to try now
As to favourite food: too hard to choose! Why have so much fantastic fresh food in Australia and so many cuisines to pick and mix with. At the moment, ‘cos its Australia Day, I am going to choose Lamingtons (mainly as I have just bought a heap for a fundraiser!)
making triffle with the mixture of yummy jellys
Eggs of course, you can do anything with them, make them into an omellete, make them scrambled, you can never get bored, if you do you can add other ingredients and make some of the best meals. Cheap easy and fun to make.
Macarons – there’s something very classy and decadent about these deliciously sweet and pretty coloured treats!

This fish is straight from heaven above.
From the ocean to my plate,
Salmon makes me salivate.

I love cheese not the cheap plastic one big proper cheese

Pineapple… and I spend many many many hours filling tubs as they grow best not in the ground, drying tops, planting new tops, side shoots and pups. I grew 13 last season and I think the kids only got a few slices!!
I love blueberries as they are versatile and give a pop of fresh blueberry flavor in your mouth…mixed with jelly this would be so much more heavenly
I love fish, its tasty, healthy and nutritious, excellent for the brain and I could easily eat it every day!
I love Thai food, the spicier the better! All the beautiful aromas of the spices makes my house smell so yummy as well 🙂

I love my pasta! In all different sauces, all different shapes! I should have been Italian!
I have sweet tooth and love chocolate cakes. Chocolate cheesecake and chocolate cookies. I am a chocolate addicted.
I love seafood….in any form….and preferably grilled….there is something about the appetising taste seafoods have, and it’s a lot more healthy than other foods….I could eat it 365 days of the year and never tire of it
I absolutely love strawberry jelly – I could eat it everyday
I absolutely love strawberry jelly – I could eat it everyday because I love the texture
Cheese and crackers, I could eat them all day – that are so tasty

We have ‘HIGH TEA’ with our friends 3 times a year. Everyone brings a plate from Lemon Meringues to quiches to sandwich soldiers, but the all time favourite is still and always will be the classic Scone, Jam and cream with a cuppa (black teas, green teas and a selection of herb teas…but I can’t wait to introduce them to Aeroplane Jelly Lite Infusions..It will be this year’s sensational surprise!!
These teacups looks like you could eat them! yum!
Hot chips with gravy. I know it’s completely wicked but I cannot pass up hot chips smothered in gravy on fresh bread oozing with butter
Eggplant parmigiana. It has been my favourite food ever since I can remember. My mum makes it every year for my birthday, it takes 2 days to make so it’s pretty special when I do have it. This year I grew so many eggplants that I made a huge batch and ate it for days, it’s even better cold the next day hehe
My favourite food is Vareniki (Ukrainian Filled Dumplings) they have a variety of fillings to suit your appetite mashed potato, smothered in butter, cream cheese, sour plum coated in sugar, cherries, i grew up with my Baba (nana) teaching me how to make these delicious treats

Roast beef with roast veg and gravy. Delicious.
Cheese, it comes in so many varieties and always hits the spot!
Loving all kinds of fruit traditional and exotic too. Versatile and easy prep, banana muffins, apple pie, pineapple pizza, mango chutney, add grapes or watermelon to salad too. In a hurry don’t despair, grab a pear. Unexpected visitors, it’s ok, fruit platter with some cheese will certainly appeal. Fruit is earths present to all us unorganised mums.
I’m sad to say that my favourite food at any given time is whatever I happen to be eating. Sometimes I’m a sweet tooth, and sometimes I crave savoury.
Love, love, love pizza – any type – savory or sweet.
Risotto, easy to make, versatile, delicious and comforting in winter
Anything that is bad for me, which is my biggest downfall. I need to start looking at healthier options, especially the Aeroplane jelly diet range. Not only good for me, it will also help with my sweet tooth cravings

anything sweet but I love jelly slice the most
I love anything sweet but my favourite is jelly slice
