Pukka and Galaktoboureko Afternoon

Welcome to Over a Cup of Tea with Celia M. - #9



The weather has been surprisingly pleasant these past few days ... the sun has made an appearance and the crispness in the air bearable without being over dressed in winter clothes. The perfect kind of weather to enjoy a High Heeled Life afternoon tea in the city.

Today I'm steeping a tea by Pukka - Harmonise (balancing for women)
 it's a blend of organic rose, sweet vanilla and chamomile. Today's teacup is by Brivogue.

With everything so close by it is so easy to pop into a local bakery for a little treat to go with tea. Serano bakery is a gallery of Greek delights that will satisfy the sweetest and unsweetened tooth. 

This is my absolute favourite Greek dessert. If you can get past the tongue twister name- Galaktoboureko (pronounced:  gal-lahk-toh-Boo-reh-koh) it will become your favourite Greek pastry too!

It's a delightful combination of creamy custard and flaky phyllo dough that is baked to golden perfection then drenched with a lemon and orange infused syrup.

I use to bake this often and will look for my recipe and share it with in a future tea.

Do you have a favourite Greek dessert?

Stay in Step with High Heeled Life ...
