Tea Time....



What an awesome weather outside.... Bright sunlight striking the white snow laden rooftops..... In the midst of this beautiful scene... I get a call from my husband ( work from home status): "can I have a cup of tea"...... 

Well, personally not being a tea lover, over a period of time being a part of tea loving family I have understood one fact that when it's a call for tea time...... Get alert.... It's time for you to show your cooking skills. Sipping hot tea without any snack is ideally incomplete, despite of you being in any part of the world. 

Tea itself is of so many colors and moods...... Sounding strange.....no it's a fact..... You have black tea, green tea, mild tea, strong tea, white tea, lemon tea.......sooooo on...... But one thing that compliments tea is.... Snacks!!!

Now being little health concious, I actually have to focus on taste as well as the health part of the snack taken along with the tea. Usually what we indulge along with tea is snacks like fried pakoras, dark chocolate muffins, flaky pastries..... I just realized my mouth has started watering...... Control your emotions dear.....

These are not just the options with you. Just move your eyes around, give your own twist to it and you are ready with a new innovative yet healthy snack option to compliment with your tea.

I have one snack recipe ready for today.....  Cucumber avocado tea time sandwich...

Potion size: 2
Cooking time: 15 min


Ingredients
Brown bread: 4 slices
Yogurt: 2 tbsp
Cucumber slices: 1 small peeled and thinly sliced
Avocado slices: 1 peeled and thinly sliced
Baby sprouts: 1/2 cup boiled
Salt, pepper to taste

Method
Mix all the spices, salt,pepper and baby sprouts in the whipped yogurt and keep aside. Prepare your canvas in the mean while.... I mean trim the sides of the brown bread and spread the yogurt mixture on it. After that place the slices of cucumber and avocado on it. Cut the slices into triangular shape and serve immediately. 


You are ready with your simple and finger licking sandwich..... All full of health and taste.....

So, guys get ready for your tea time!!!!!!
