Host a tea party with a late 60s twist.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Find the proper cups and tea pot.
These can be hand made in pottery class or they can be stamped with political slogans. They shouldn't match. What self respecting hippie would have matching dishes?
Step 2

Set the mood.
Hang an Indian bed spread on the ceiling. Sit on floor pillows. Light some incense. Play some music from the 60s, or play Phish or reggae for young hippies.
Step 3

Offer some tea.
If you go with traditional tea, it must be fair trade organic. If that's too difficult to find, then go with herbal tea.
Step 4

Offer milk with the tea.
This of course depends on which hippie movement you're partial to. If you're going with the back to the earth movement, then goat milk from the goats in the back yard is good. If you want to go vegan, serve soy milk, or rice dream.
Step 5

Offer something to sweeten the tea.
Locally harvested honey is a good choice. Brown sugar is good in tea too if you don't have honey.
Step 6

Offer some snacks.
Home made granola bars with carob chips are tasty. Dried fruits and nuts are another easy option. Of course nothing's quite as good as fresh out of the oven whole wheat bread made with flour from your own hand cranked flour mill that you got a Whole Earth Access.
