This week's recipe is another one of those recipes that shows how the BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties, is as much culinary history as it is culinary kitchen adventure.
This recipe is a combination of two tea recipes from The Bohemian-American Cookbook by Marie Rosicky, published by the Automatic Printing Company ((www.autoprintomaha.com) and used with written permission.
Here is the reference from "Bryony."
Henry brought Melissa the tea in a beautiful cup and saucer. The
background was cobalt blue; the edges were trimmed in gold. The inside of the
cup was pure white and boasted one, painted, purple rose near the lip.
“Be careful,” Henry said. “It’s hot.”
Melissa cautiously tasted the foaming tea, nothing like the tea bags at home, and tried not to make a face. What did Henry put in it? Didn’t Victorians make normal food?
This recipe does appear in the BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," and you can also view it on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website.
But check out the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

Below is a teacup Timothy bought for me from Evilena's Red Dresser in Frankfort for Mother's Day a few years ago. The teacup is filled with dried purple rose petals, a "Henry" motif.
We have actually not tried this recipe. I don't like eggs, and Rebekah won't like them in her tea.
So please let us know your thoughts if you do try it!
Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
