Most people's favourite season is summer... but ours is definitely rhubarb season! 

Never sweeter than now, we don't even need to bake with it. We'd be happy just dipping it in some Tate & Lyle Sugar!

That being said... these Rhubarb Muffins do look delicious. A bake for this weekend perhaps? Follow along for the recipe!
Another tea break taken care of! 

Self-confessed tea fanatic like @moneymakeoverwithgem live for a stress-free few minutes with a cuppa for company.

And a Tate & Lyle Sweetener is one of the best ways to go about... The sugar alternative that's lighter in calories as well as on your pursestrings! 

Here's what she had to say: 

"Tea for me is my me time. When I wake up in the morning, or take a break from work it is my time to relax and enjoy my tea (I am a tea addict 😂).

I have tried sweeteners before in the past but didn’t stick with it.

However, after trying these sweeteners that I was kindly gifted I definitely will make an effort to use these a lot more.
Can anyone guess what this brand-new scone recipe is? 

CLUE: It's not savoury!

A whole day dedicated to one TEA!

Yes it's here, National Tea Day and the ideal time to share one of our favourite shortbread recipes using fragrant Earl Grey tea. 

Here's how to make Earl Grey & Lemon Shortbread:

Prep Time – 30 mins (4 hours to chill)
Yield – 12 – 16 (dependant on the size of your cutters)

Ingredients 

Biscuits
50g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 tbsp of Earl Grey Tea
220g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Icing
A squeeze of lemon
100g Tate & Lyle Fair Trade – Pure Cane Icing sugar

Instructions

Combine your tea leaves and butter, leaving overnight preferably to infuse. You can cover in a bowl and leave to the side as this mix shouldn’t be chilled.
Add your butter mix to a bowl your sugar and combine, then add the flour salt until a dough forms
Roll out your dough mix until even – about half an inch thick and cut with your biscuit cutter.
Pop onto a baking sheet and into a preheated oven at 180°C/ 160°C fan/ gas mark 4/ 350°F and bake for 15 mins. Keep and eye on them as they can burn quickly.
Whilst they cool make your icing and then drizzle generously once the biscuits are completely cold.

A subtle change that always makes bakes better...
