We've been scheming a visit to Babylonstoren in South Africa for a while now; here's one more reason to go: the newly opened Karen's Tea House.
Located inside a giant glass conservatory on the grounds of the sprawling resort (one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms in South Africa), the tea house's menu includes plum and verbena cordial, lemon thyme lemonade, rosewater cupcakes, and herb sorbet popsicles. For more information, go to Babylonstoren.
