The smell. In Victoria, it is always water first, then milk too. First sandwiches, like carrot and cucumber(but high tea these can be salmon and caviar), then scones with clotted cream, then little pastries and cakes. Macaroons are durable journals these days but I love lemon petite fours. I rarely have time for the etiquette and service of a formal tea, but I still love a China cup and saucer, with a cucumber sandwich and shortbread. That's home.

I'm one for the whole ritual - boil the water, temper the pot, brew for 5 minutes,with the requisite tea cosy in place, which does wonders for keeping things copacetic.( I never brew in a mug - I have a personal sized brown Betty. Lovely!) Tea first, milk second. Thanks for a wonderful post. But keep up the House of Windsor thing. Fascinating!Vicar's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189209555916016806noreply@blogger.com
