hi all... . . this thread is sooo awesome. i have copied and pasted some of these great ideas as a word doc tosave and print off later. i have a couple of laybuys going and spent a good hour or so sorting out the lights and other decorations. trying to decide what colour theme to go with this year... . a quick question though-how far out can i make cookie dough for gingerbread people and the stained glass cookies? does the mixture freeze ok?
timetable,

hi a_n_h! i usually make my cookie dough a couple of months out - anywhere from mid sept to beginning of oct, then spend a couple of sat's making up the cookies and then i just put them back down (cooked) into ice cream containers. the stained glass bickies will be fine to freeze as well. i make my christmas puds from aug through and then just frezze - i just wrap them up well before i frezze them. have fun and hey well done on the planning! !

Christmas Digestive Tea This fruity, spicy mix smells divine and may be very welcome after a big meal!
4 tablespoons pure Ceylon leaf tea 1 thumb ginger, finely chopped 1 vanilla bean, chopped 1 cinnamon quill, broken into small pieces 4 whole cloves Zest of 1 orange (use a zesting tool) 1 stalk of lemongrass (tender middle section only) 2 tablespoons dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and place in a cool, dry spot for at least 4 hours to allow flavours to infuse. Cut 8-10 circles of muslin about 12 cm round and spoon in the tea mixture. Tie into little bundles with kitchen twine and store in a sealed container until ready to use (up to 24 hours). To make tea, boil water and allow to stand for 30 seconds before pouring it over the infusion bags, either in a teapot or cup. Add a little honey to sweeten if desired. Makes 8 to 10 cups.
