Normally at the restaurant we make our own filo pastry. It’s so thin that you could read a newspaper placed under it. This is a more practical recipe, particularly fun to do with children.Drinks match Mint tea cocktail
I have to admit being slightly stumped by a baklava drink match, as I’ve always thought of tea as the perfect accompaniment. So, with that in mind, I decided to get a little creative and find a way to pack a little extra punch into your afternoon tea. Try an iced tea cocktail combining bruised mint leaves, a dash of lime juice, a shot of vodka and some pre-made, sweetened ice tea. You get a bit of sweetness as well as that minty tea flavour so familiar to baklava lovers. If that all sounds like too much work, relax, pop the kettle on and have a cuppa.
