Just for Fun: What do you think of when you think about cookies? Bake sales? Christmas? Girl guides? Ancient history? Well, cookies have been around in one form or another since the 7th Century AD so depending on where you're from, they might make you think of a lot of different things. Culinary historians believe that the earliest cookies were baked in ancient Persia, now Iran. This is probably due to the fact that Persia was one of the first places in the world to cultivate and refine sugar. Early Middle Eastern cookie recipes made their way to Europe during the Crusades. It was in Europe from about the 14th century on, that cookie making really took off in a big way. Now in the 21st century, thanks to this blend, when you think about cookies you've got something new to think about - tea! This wonderful tea blends the flavors of maple, honey, and chocolate in a wonderful bakey, cookie-like way with a touch of fresh cream to round out the cup.
