Close your eyes, take a deep breath. Suddenly, you're in an Amish kitchen, and someone's making almond apricot streudel. Or else you're brewing this tea. You have savory almond slices blending with the sweet flavor of ripe summer apricots, coming together in a blend of Ceylon black and honeybush teas. A perfect dessert by itself or, if you're lucky, some Amish pastries...

teas: almond, apricot & honeybush apricot
Years ago, when I lived outside of Philadelphia, one of the things I most looked forward to at Christmastime was heading into the city for the annual holiday show at the convention center, which had exhibitors of all types. Why? Because at one end of the hall, there was a classic Pennsylvania Dutch group making and selling pastries and pies, including the almond apricot struedel that inspired this tea.
After several tries, I was finally able to make something that approximated the real thing, with phyllo dough, almond paste, slivered almonds, butter, apricot preserves and a dusting of confectioner's sugar. It wasn't quite the same, but it was close enough for homemade.
This tea is the perfect companion to this and just about any other holiday dessert. Better yet, it's good all by itself.
