What about drinks?

A little cup or glass of something delicious to wash it all down with is the icing on the cake. Many people will opt for classic breakfast tea with milk – this goes so perfectly with both savoury and sweet foods that it’s little wonder it’s so popular.

For a luxurious hot drink to go with your afternoon tea, why not try a cup of ultra-rich hot chocolate? Vienna hot chocolate is made in the traditional way to begin with, using grated chocolate and hot milk – but the addition of beaten egg whites towards the end turns this drink into a frothy, sweet, delicious treat.

A classic milky latte is another great choice for coffee-lovers out there. Warming and energising, it’s no wonder coffee is the world’s most popular hot beverage.

What about soft drinks?

Homemade lemonade is a delightful choice for summer afternoon teas. By mixing lemon juice with ice and water – and sugar to taste, you have a refreshing and thirst-quenching summery drink.

Likewise, iced tea is another great choice, with all the joys of tea but in a cold refreshing drink. It’s simple to make according to BBC Good Food’s recipe.

Lastly, if you’re feeling especially adventurous, why not try making a blackberry shrub drink? This cooling, fruity drink is easy to make and will definitely stand out as something a little bit different. Made on the hob, just mix apple cider vinegar with a cup of fruit juice and a cup of sugar – this will make a neat concentrate which you can then combine with iced water to drink.

Delicious, refreshing and the perfect companion to your afternoon tea!
