Felicity
Recently ,we had the opportunity to learn about Felicity Merriman for our American Girl Doll History Class.
.
It was so fun going back in time to Williamsburg, Va and taking a peek inside Colonial living and what it would have been like living in Felicitys time.
.
We jumped right in and started with making our butter and our spiced almonds.
.
The butter took lots and lots of shaking the heavy cream .. then letting it sit and then shaking throughout which gave us two products, A cream to use with our scones and then shaking some more produced the butter.
.
We also worked on coating the almonds in between the butter so we rotated everyone through to have a chance to make the spiced nuts.
.
While the spiced nuts cooked, we sat down to have our tea party . We enjoyed scones with raspberry compote( our version of the raspberry flummery) and the cream from our shaking. We also enjoyed Felicity’s Liberty Tea which is actually red Raspberry leaf tea without any added sweeteners. We also talked about proper tea service and table setting , something Felicity would have learned at her Tea lessons. It’s fun seeing how these simple traditions are carried through time.
