The Royal Horseguards hotel in London is serving up the international flavors of Christmas in its “Taste of Christmas” high tea until December 31.
Created by the hotel’s resident pastry chef, Joanne Todd, the menu incorporates yuletide tastes from around the world. Guests can enjoy German mini stolen topped with fresh red currants and a shard of curved black-and-white marble-effect chocolate; a French gingerbread macaron with vanilla cream; American cookies infused with ginger; traditional English Christmas pudding wrapped in a Chinese wonton-style pastry; Scandinavian cranberry vodka jelly; and a Swiss white chocolate snowball.
