A Tea Party Menu Needs
the Two S's

Let's talk about your tea party menu and what should be included on it.
The event, the number of guests and of course, your budget will determine what goes on your menu.

Most tea parties are "low" or Afternoon Tea Parties. This tea time should
include the two S's - Savory and Sweet .

A cream tea consists simply of tea, scones, and cream for the scones. High tea recipes , whose name is misused and misunderstood in America, requires heartier fare.

For a guideline, remember that tea parties are known for their dainty fare. Finger sandwiches and bite size portions are the trademark of teatime. Most of all, don't forget, tea friend, that your own creativity adds interest to your tea menus!
