31st October, 2008: Halloween: Are you brave enough to “dress like a tea bag” or eat Barmbrack?
How do you plan to spend Halloween? Carving pumpkins into Jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treating, touring “haunted houses”…or maybe something else. For the most avid tea fans, there is always the option of dressing up like a tea bag. Or if that isn’t “your cup of tea”, perhaps hosting a children’s Halloween tea party for all those little ghosts and goblins out there. Another option is always just staying home with a nice warm celebratory cup of Pumpkin Spice tea. But will you be taking your tea with some equally seasonal Halloween brack on the side? What is Halloween brack you ask? It is an Irish Halloween tradition: a delicious fruit cake with tiny objects hidden inside. Boo! In case that scares you more than Halloween itself, you may just want to opt for some other desserts and tea treats instead.
Keep us in the loop if you partake in any of the above Halloween activities or if you’d like to share some ideas of your own. Happy Halloween!
