A "four-o’clock" for everyone!

"After a day in school, they are always hungry," Maggie tells us. She’s the mother of Zoe, aged 11, Lisa, 8, and John, the youngest who has just celebrated its 5th birthday. This active mum makes it a point of honour to make teatime a special moment.
"All four of us sit together at the table, they tell me about their day, what they did in class and what they got up to with their classmates; it's always hectic!” She laughs. "Teatime is also a way to give them the energy they need. They use up a lot of energy and they also practice after-school activities, at this age they just can’t be stopped! "
It’s out of the question for Maggie to stuff them with industrial products: tea must remain a healthy and tasty meal. So Maggie’s secret is her homemade jam which she produces in Le Parfait jars. "Spread it on a slice of bread with seasonal fruit and milk.”

The benefits of tea for adults

You might think, wrongly, that teatime is just for children. However, 30% of women and 16% of men let themselves be tempted by a late afternoon snack ... to their greater good! From a nutritional standpoint, tea is useful across the board. Many nutritionists agree on this point: dividing your meals promotes nutritional balance.
In effect, by spacing our food intake, less but more regularly, the body assimilates the energy it needs gradually and avoids energy dropouts during the day. That is not its only benefit because it limits weight gain by eliminating wild snacking and also because it is usually followed by a lighter evening meal because hunger is less pressing.
In these circumstances, why deprive yourself of this uniquely relaxing moment, the sweet taste of childhood ... Both good for health and good for morale, tea time is attracting more and more adults and also the great Parisian chefs who will include it on the menu like any other meal. The gastronomic experts invite you back to your childhood, with tasty creations, delightfully nostalgic ...
So, without further delay and to indulge this little ritual throughout the year with confidence, now is the perfect time to prepare your homemade stewed fruits, jams and jellies ... in Le Parfait jars of course!
