Rich tea

Hey there kiddo, do you know what a tea is? It's a hot drink made by pouring hot water over dried leaves or herbs. Have you ever heard of a biscuit or a cookie? A rich tea is a type of biscuit that is often dunked in tea.

Picture this, when you take a sip of hot tea and then take a bite of a rich tea biscuit, it can make the biscuit taste even better. Rich tea biscuits are usually round and are made with flour, sugar, and a bit of salt. They are not too sweet and are perfect for dipping in tea or just eating as a snack.

Now, do you know why it's called rich tea? There's no rich ingredients in it like gold, silver, platinum or anything else you can name. The name "rich tea" comes from the fact that it was originally a luxury biscuit and was only served to wealthy people, like kings and queens. Over time, the biscuit became more common and now anyone can enjoy it!

So, the next time you have a cup of tea, try dipping a rich tea biscuit in it and see if you like it. But remember, it's always good to ask your grown-up if you are allowed to have a snack first!
