Jesse ‘Tea’ Party

Jesse_tea_party_dreamstime_xxl_5474744

Why not host a tea party with an Advent flavour? Serve Gingerbread cookies with Jesse Tree symbols, or draw inspiration from the following ideas:

  • Adam’s Apple– cut apples into thin ‘chips’
  • Noah’s Ark– remove the flesh of 1/2 a watermelon, fill it with watermelon balls
  • Abraham’s Star– use star fruit
  • Isaac’s Bundle of Sticks– use pretzel sticks
  • Jesse Tea– any kind of tea or iced tea
  • Joseph’s Coat– use a stencil to make a coat out of sprinkles on a cookie or cupcake
  • Moses’ Burning Bush– broccoli florets with chilli dip
  • David’s Crown– cucumber rounds with smoked salmon on top
  • Mary’s Heart– heart shaped cookies
