Make Your Own Mother's Day High Tea by Ama Scriver

If you want a fun and creative way to spend Mother's Day without breaking the bank and being stuck in massive lineups, your resident foodies at LRU have come up with the ultimate idea. This cost-effective (under $25 with tax) Mother's Day is not only cute and enjoyable, but a perfect family experience. High Tea in your very own backyard!

The set-up is simple. Using a tea-set that you have at home or one that you can acquire from Value Village, pick up some high-quality items to ensure your high tea set-up is on par with that of The Royal York Hotel or The King Edward Hotel for a fraction of the price.

Head out to your local grocery store and pick up some items. Our choices come from the PC Black Label line, which you'll find at any Loblaws or Real Canadian Superstore:


MIXED BERRY TEA 5.99

EARL GREY ALL BUTTER SHORTBREAD THINS 3.99

CHEESE & BASIL ALL BUTTER BISCUITS 3.99

VANILLA BELGIAN WAFFLE SANDWICH COOKIES 2.99


Mom will be so appreciative not to have to leave the house, while being able to bask in all the sunshine's glory and take in the we-honestly-think-they're-lovely PC Black Label products, fit for an intense foodie experience.

Just recently, we had our own Mother's Day photoshoot and High Tea experience with mother Mary Lou, daughter Glynis and grandmother Juanita. Three extraordinary women sitting back and enjoying this comfortable and cost-effective High-Tea experience fit for all ages. This Mother's Day, let your Mom know you care with great thought from the heart and soul.
