50 tea bags - ZIN: 427360 - Who doesn't love Strawberry Shortcake? Fresh strawberries, pastry, icing sugar, fresh cream. In a word, scrumptious. The original recipe can be traced back to a 19th century food writer named Eliza Leslie. Her shtick, (even back then all food writers and celebrity chefs had one) was to incorporate various elements of French cuisine into cooking. Her recipe called for a special pastry crust that was a cross between traditional pastry and cookie dough, cut into rounds with mashed strawberries sandwiched between them, covered in icing sugar. Phew! The recipe spread like wildfire and spawned many variations. One that saw the addition of fresh whipped cream became the Strawberry Shortcake most of us are familiar with today. This tea has all the great flavors of the sweet creamy dessert with none of the calories.
