WE THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who made our first tea a very successful event in every way!  Thanks to our whole chapter, thanks to the Ladies who served the tea and food, thanks to the folks who helped set up tables, hauled boxes, polished silver, made cozies, baked, assembled sandwiches and of course a warm thank you to all our sponsors and contributors. 

What is on the savory tray?

The savory course offers selections too numerous to mention in detail at this time, but suffice to say, the one thing they all have in common is that they are not sweet!  Savories can be a tasty tea sandwich, a warm meat or cheese tart, or, a slice of cheese and anything in between!  For our Ladies of Liberty Afternoon tea, we have chosen to serve:  cucumber on hearty white bread rounds, Curry Chicken Rolls, Salmon Spread on Pumpernickel bread, Spicy Cheese Coins, and Waldorf Tea Sandwiches on Cinnamon Raisin Bread.
We are looking forward to our afternoon together!

A few Pre-Tea Explanations

What is on a tea tray?

Brittish custom dictates scones be

served with three condiments:

Lemon Curd

Clotted Cream

Jam

We Americans love emulating our Brittish cousins, so we also serve these treats with our scones (a kind of sweet biscuit)



Lemon Curd is very much like the basic lemon filling used in lemon meringue pie

Clotted cream is very much like slightly sweet sour cream

Jam is good and we know what that is!

Instructions on the correct way to eat a scone...

1) split in half

2) put a dollop of clotted cream on each half

3) now, add a dollop of lemon curd

4) finally, add a dollop of jam

Enjoy while sipping on a steaming cup of delicious tea!

Now you are ready to enjoy the first course of an Afternoon Tea!
