The Official Rules of the Teashop Girls
1. Teashop Girls are best friends forever.
2. Tea is held every week no matter what.
3. All tea and scones must be split equally at all times.
In Laura Schaefer's debut novel, Annie, Genna and Zoe are the best of friends, or used to be. As Annie gets a job as a barista at her grandmother's teashop, Genna is always at theater, and Zoe is busy with tennis, the girls begin to wonder how much longer they can stay together.
Suddenly, The Steeping Leaf receives an eviction notice, and the shop might have to close for good if the girls can't help make the place "hopping" with customers again. While working at the shop, Annie quickly develops a crush on her co-worker, and as eighth grade comes to a close, new adventures arise.
This book is honest and sweet; perfect for the young teenager. The characters are so real and relateable, I would want to have friends just like them. If I knew there was a shop like The Steeping Leaf in Wisconsin, I would head there for a cup of English Breakfast right away!
The following is a recipe from the book:
Annie's Tea Pops:
INGREDIENTS
2 cups (approximately one small pot), herbal tea, brewed double strength
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
Brew hot tea using double the amount of leaves you usually would. Let steep for 4 minutes, them allow time to cool. Stir the orange juice and sugar into the cooled tea, then pour the mixture into ice pop molds or ice cube trays, leaving some room at the top. Place in freezer and wait 3 hours or until solid.
