Tea Stirrers
I thought about this simple recipe because Gillian was talking about scones!
While I’m thinking about longterm slow-but-small projects, there is my little collection of biscuit and scone recipes which one day will be big enough to help me work out the geographical limits of the terms biscuits and scones and a hundred subtle interpretations appertaining unto each of the words. Or maybe it will just provide many yummy recipes. Either is good.
I love scones. I love tea. I love anything that makes my tea taste yummy, and in my book these are a fun addition to a tea ritual! These are especially popular with little girls at dress-up tea parties. Ah, if only my son would play tea party with me! Here’s the recipe:
CANDIED TEA STIRRERS
Cooking spray (like Pam — NOT butter-flavored)
About 2 cups of crushed fruit-flavored hard candy (you know those fruity candies that look like mints? those work great!)
2 T Corn syrup
Heavyweight plastic spoons
Line a jellyroll pan with waxed paper; spray with cooking spray. In a small heavy saucepan, combine crushed candies and corn syrup over low heat. Stirring frequently, heat until candies melt. Spoon candy into bowl of each spoon. Place spoons on the prepared pan with the spoon handles on rim and spoons level (to keep the candy from spilling out.) Allow candy to harden. Store in airtight container.
Makes about 24 spoons.

I love this idea. That’s a precious idea for tea parties.
