Jesse ‘Tea’ Party

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

What do you think? Do you have any ideas on food and the Jesse Tree symbols? We’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments below!
