Creamy Nutcracker Gelato

COOKING WITH TEA

Nutcracker Gelato

The Nutcracker infuses creamy gelato with his magic. Rich hazelnut and citrus notes bring the dessert to life upon the palate, a delicate pas de deux between the creaminess of hazelnut and sweet, aromatic vanilla. Allowing the gelato to cool before churning allows for the the most decadent, creamiest texture.

In time for the holidays, TEALEAVES, in a collaboration with 15+ ballet companies, 10+ luxury hotel partners, and an antiquarian horologist, launched the worldwide Nutcracker #AfternoonTEALEAVES: Gifts of Time initiative. The project is a twist to the traditional gift guide that offers experiential pairings to afternoon tea, themed after the story of the Nutcracker, and celebrates the arts, true craftsmanship, and spending quality time with others.
