    That was nice! I really enjoyed watching. I'm from America, but I love everything British. Especially afternoon tea. I so wish there was a tea house near by that offered the British experience of afternoon tea with all the trimmings. I would visit once a week.

    Serena, thankyou for the lovely tips. I am going to host my first tea party and I want to get it right. I'm a baker, so I can make the scones and petite desserts myself. The sandwiches don't look hard either. Earl Grey tea happens to be my favorite so I think this is going to work out well. Best Wishes and thank you again!

Apart from these: Iranian Cafe’s in Bombay that brew Tea and *that tastes like Heaven* ...

    I once worked with a lot of people who were English descendants. I couldn’t understand why they would ask each other what they were cooking for afternoon tea instead of what they were cooking for dinner? I’m pretty sure that we’re talking about dinner because they were discussing things like steak, peas and potatoes.

    • @cupofculture6521
