Mother’s Day Brunch ideas

Mother’s Day Brunch… What’s not to love? Sleeping in a little later than usual. Or maybe you attend the early church service and stuff yourself with your favorite breakfast AND dinner foods a little later. Dressing up, eating good food, hanging out with your family and close friends and maybe even enjoying a cocktail or two, all sound like the makings of a perfect day.
Are you tempted? Interested in celebrating the moms in your life with a brunch party?
Here are a few recommendations from Chapters Bookshop and The Wine Cellar at Chapters for a successful Mother’s Day brunch. Enjoy!

A Main Dish

Make Challah French Toast the star of your brunch buffet. This egg bread from Tribeca Oven is slightly sweet and absolutely perfect in your favorite French toast recipe.

Cocktails

Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Champagne

Simply place a whole Wild Hibiscus Flower in the bottom of a champagne flute with he “petals” pointing up.

Pour in a dash of the crimson hibiscus syrup from the jar and top up with your favorite bubbly.

All the bubbles stream off the flower as it slowly unfurls. At the end of the drink you can eat the flower; its natural flavor is similar to raspberry and rhubarb.

This cocktail works best with sparkling wine like Champagne or Prosecco, but you can also use sparkling water, lemonade or apple cider for non-alcoholic versions.
