Something fresh and fit is brewing at the Metropolitan London. The Hyde Park corner Hotel has just updated their classic British high tea service to encourage a healthier approach to the mid-day indulgence.
The new menu, dubbed "Afternoon De-Light", includes the typical selection of teas and fingerfoods but with a focus on fresh ingredients and exclusion of empty calories. The tiers of no-guilt goodies are all made lighter, utilizing "low fat crème fraiche, no bread for the sandwiches, fresh fruit puree instead of unrefined sugar, flour substitutes, and olive oil instead of butter."
