The first few weeks of the school year can feel like a whirlwind. Between new routines, homework, and packed schedules, it’s easy to forget to pause and take a breath. That’s why we love the idea of a “Back-to-School Reset Tea Party.” It’s the perfect way to slow down, connect with friends, and bring a little calm into the busy season.
Here’s how to host your own cozy gathering, featuring delicious treats and floral-inspired drinks.
1. Set the Scene 🍂
Keep it simple: gather a few friends, light a candle, and set the table with mugs, pretty plates, and maybe even some fresh flowers. It doesn’t need to be fancy—just warm and welcoming.
2. Design the Menu With Edible Flower Baking Mixes and Beverages 🌸
At The Flower Food Company, we believe treats should feel special but still be easy to prepare. Here’s what we recommend:
- Scones – Choose from Earl Grey & Lavender, Chamomile Honey, or Roasted Strawberry Scones With Rosewater Glaze. Bake a batch to share, and let guests pick their favorite flavor.
- Brownies – Our Lavender Brownies add a rich, fudgy, floral twist to a classic treat. They’re guaranteed to be the hit of the table.
- Lavender Drinks – Pair the sweets with a warm cup of Lavender Hot Chocolate or Lavender-Infused Coffee, or brighten things up with a glass of Purple Lavender Lemonade.
3. Keep It Intentional ✨
The “reset” is the heart of this party. Encourage everyone to share one thing they’re grateful for or a small goal for the new season. You’ll be surprised how uplifting a little reflection can be when paired with tea, scones, and laughter.
4. Send Guests Home with a Treat 🎁
Want to make it extra memorable? Package a mini mix (like lavender lemonade or scones) as a sweet party favor—something they can enjoy later as they continue their back-to-school routines.
Hosting a Back-to-School Reset Tea Party is more than just serving food. It’s about slowing down, savoring the season, and filling your cup—literally and figuratively.
