These tiny cucumber tea sandwiches are sure to impress the dog sitting patiently in the kitchen… or the cat pretending not to care while quietly keeping an eye on every move you make.
They’re light, refreshing, wonderfully simple, and feel perfectly at home on a warm summer afternoon. You’ll probably pop one or two in your mouth during preparation, as we did, just letting you know.
