What elements should be included in an afternoon tea party?

Answer by  Bete (28)

Everything fancy and delicious - cupcakes of all kinds, scones, shortbread cookies, spongecake, meringue... Fruit and berries are also always good - strawberries, cherries, grapes, just to name some options. And don't forget tea, several kinds, and a posh accent!

Buy some good tea and make it properly. In addition you will need a nice china tea service. Home made little cakes, tea sandwiches, scones with clotted cream (whipped if clotted not available. ) Arrange all the goodies attractively and keep the hot tea flowing. Play nice background music.

To drink, serve traditional English tea or Earl Grey tea and freshly squeezed orange juice. To eat, serve scones with clotted cream and jam, and an assortment of sandwiches (cut into triangles) with fillings such as egg mayonnaise, beef and horseradish sauce, or smoked salmon and cream cheese.
