Enjoyingafternoon teaperched on a gilded hotel armchair isa fine British tradition, but hardly sustainable as a regular pastime. Throwing your own party means you can control the budget and select your favourite finger food. We have some suggestions for putting on a tea party in style.
The basic kit
If you own a tiered cake stand, dust it off and use it for the centrepiece. Otherwise, use your best crockery and make it a little more special with lace-like doilies, folded napkins and name place cards.
Charity shops are a good source for reasonably priced chintzy Chinaware to get that authentic ye olde tearoom look. Don’t worry if the patterns are mismatched – it makes the event a little more hip. You’ll need a teapot, teacups, cutlery and cake slicers for serving.
Extend your table and dress it with a tablecloth. Fabric shops sell cheap spotted, floral and striped material by the metre which can be very effective for this. String up some bunting or, if you’re feeling ambitious, bake someedible bunting biscuits.
While you’re at it, you could make some name-place cookies, icing them with your guests’ names. Pop them in paper bags so your guests have a little present to take away, or just snaffle them as an entrée.
Make sure the sugar and milk is set on the table, ready to pour your guests a cuppa as they sit down. Offer a variety of teas, like Earl Grey,chai, peppermint,camomile,fruit,herbaland, of course, English Breakfast.
There aren’t any rules when it comes to the food, but a standard afternoon tea comprises a tier of sandwiches, a tier of cakes and one of scones or teacakes. However, you could also throw in pastries, petits fours or biscuits.
Don’t wear yourself out by taking on too many ambitious bites, but if you feel like a challenge make sure you get your timings right.
Sandwiches
While these require minimal effort, you can get ahead by prepping your fillings in advance, then assemble just before guests arrive to avoid the dreaded soggy sarnie.
Scones are best eaten on the day and don’t take long to whip up, but it may be helpful to spread the work of preparing your afternoon tea by freezing a batch, then defrosting them in a low oven. Serve warm with lashings of cream and jam – you could decant a pot of homemade preserve (see below) into a pretty bowl with a silver spoon for guests to help themselves.
Shortbreads, cookies, gingernuts… take inspiration from memories of your childhood biscuit tin. These recipes all take less than an hour, so you can make them on the morning of your event. Alternatively, make the dough earlier in the week and freeze to simply bake and ice on the day.
Just the mere mention of Parisian-standard pastry is enough to send shivers down the spine of your average home baker. If you’re willing to take them on, prepare the pastry or biscuits the night before your afternoon tea.
Individual portions are key for the afternoon tea aesthetic, so bake a generous batch of dinky cakes that are prettily decorated. For a boozy twist, try our fabulous fondant fancies in three cocktail-themed flavours:strawberry daiquiri,pina coladaandespresso martini.
