Newest addition to Fancy That Tea Boutique - flavoured sugars

We're excited to tell you about our latest offering: herbal sugars! Lavender, Rose Geranium and Mandarin Orange Spice are the flavours. The sugars add just a little something extra to your recipes - a subtle flavour to make your taste buds sing! Try them in iced teas or lemonade. By far the most popular is the Lavender Sugar. (Remember our earlier post about Lavender? It means "Devotion"!) Each sugar packet comes with wonderful recipes such as for shortbread cookies, lavender whipped cream, and others. Each packet of flavoured sugar will make a cake and cookie recipe. So if you are planning on making more than two cakes, you will simply need more than one packet of flavoured sugar! We can't wait for you to try these :)

Language of Spices and Flowers - Lavender is Devotion

Lavender Field

In our next post, we will be announcing a new product line being carried by Fancy That in our shoppe. As a preface to our next post and the announcement (are you feeling the building excitement?) we would like to share some old Victoriana with you – what flowers and spices mean.

We all know that a rose means love. Did you know that different colored roses mean a different thing? That is for yet another post. Did you know that Lavender means devotion? Imagine giving a loved one, friend or husband (or bride) a gift of Lavender. You are saying “With Devotion”. Are you excited to hear about the newest item soon to be in the Fancy That Shoppe?

Sadly, a little time to wait will be needed. Until the time that the announcement is made, here are some meanings of flowers and spices:

Almond – Hope
Basil – Best wishes, Love
Coriander – Desire
Garlic – Courage, Strength
Lavender – Devotion
Rosemary – Remembrance
Sage – Wisdom, Long life

More about “Lavender” next week! Thanks for stopping by.
