How to make a Mother's Day tea set 🫖

Watch Louise Pentland show you how to make a super cute tea set for Mother's Day. Start with a customised tea bag, create a beautiful marble mug and then top it off with some delicious chocolate dipped peppermints!

Add a special message to your tea bags

You will need:

  • Teabags with string already attached

  • Coloured card

  • Pen

  • Glue stick

  • Scissors (grab a grown-up if you need help cutting)

Spruce up a mug with this cool marble effect

You will need:

  • White mug (you could use an old one, but make sure you ask permission first!)

  • Nail varnish (2 or more colours)

  • Hot water (be careful with hot water - grab a grown-up)

  • Old tray or container (that you don’t mind getting nail varnish on - You could use an old ice cream tub or a disposable foil tray! Make sure to throw this away safely afterwards.)

  • Old newspapers (Use this to protect the floor or table you are working on)

How to make chocolate dipped peppermints

You will need: 

  • 1/2 bag royal icing (if you want to make fewer peppermint creams, use less icing)

  • 1 teaspoon of peppermint essence

  • A few drops of green food colouring

  • A dusting of icing sugar (to stop it from getting too sticky!)
