We’ll sip our Earl Grey tea (because what’s a book chat without a cuppa?) and dive into the pages of this delightful whodunit. Theodosia Browning, our amateur sleuth and tea shop owner, finds herself entangled in a murder mystery during a traditional afternoon tea event. As the tea leaves swirl, so do the secrets, and Theodosia must unravel the truth before the next cup is poured.

Inspired by the book, I tried my hand at Theodosia’s famous tea-marbled eggs. These savory delights are infused with the essence of Earl Grey tea, creating a delicate balance of flavors. Imagine boiled eggs with intricate marbling patterns, reminiscent of antique teacups. I’ll share the recipe step-by-step, from steeping the tea to achieving that perfect marbled effect.
