Come Join Me for An English Afternoon Tea

By Lorraine

Easy to prepare an English Afternoon Tea just like you might have in London, England with scones, petite sandwiches, shortbread and of course, tea.
Reliving the delightful experiences of our London trip last year, and after sharing a traditional breakfast in my last post, I’m now posting ideas for a lovely English Afternoon Tea.

Vintage appliqued napkins and place mats along with pink pearl-handled flatware and my last jar of Buckingham Palace blackcurrant jam are added.

Shortbread and pieces of pistachio fudge entice from the top tier.
I’ll be sharing the recipe for the shortbread soon. My favorite fudge is Fudge Kitchen Pistachio on the Ocean City (NJ) Boardwalk.

Simple roast beef and cheese sandwiches fill the bottom tier.
The sandwiches we had in London were not elaborate, usually a bit of cheese, chicken or chicken salad on a baguette with lettuce and tomato.

Wish you all could join me for a lovely English Tea because I know I would have so much fun spending the afternoon with you!

    What a beautiful tea. I bet the jam is so good you could just eat it on a spoon.
