"Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy,
doesn't try it on."
~Billy Connolly
We recently were given samples for a tea party from this
gentleman. I don't think he knew what we were about, so
shhhhh...lets not tell him. One of us met him at a social function
and mentioned that she gave tea parties. She didn't say what
kind. The candy and cookies were incredible. We plan on buying
from him in the future for parties. You should, too.

How to
Brew and Serve a Proper Cup of Tea
Whether
you're planning a special Afternoon Tea Party and want to
impress your friends, or you simply love a good cup of tea
yourself, here's the proper way to brew and serve a pot of
tea.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Time Required: 10
minutes
Here's How:
- Fill tea pot with hot tap water to warm it
up prior to adding tea leaves and boiling water.
- Fill tea kettle with fresh, cold,
non-distilled water.
- Place kettle on stove and bring to boil.
- Just before kettle begins to boil, pour
water from tea pot and add one teaspoon tea leaves per cup
to pot, plus an additional teaspoon 'for the pot'.
- Remove kettle from heat right after it
comes to a boil, and pour 6 ounces per cup into tea pot.
- Let tea steep 3 - 7 minutes depending on
desired strength.
- While tea steeps, ask a close friend to "do
the honors" by serving the tea to your other guests.
- Add cold, whole milk, or lemon to tea cups
depending on preference of guests.
- Pour tea into cups using a strainer to
catch loose leaves.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- For easy entertaining, host a Tea Party
with assorted tea sandwiches and other goodies.
- Use a ceramic tea pot rather than metal.
Metal can affect the taste of the tea, and will cool the
water more quickly.
- Keep boiling water available for second
cups, to dilute tea that becomes strong while sitting in tea
pot.
