If you’re planning a traditional English tea party, you’ll need to stock up on a few key items. Some of the most important ones are:
Tea and More
You can’t have a proper picnic without tea. It’s always served in a pot and is poured into cups. It might be black or it might be green, but it always has milk and sugar added. Make sure to bring some elegant tea cups!
Finger sandwiches
Finger sandwiches are a must-have at any English tea party. They’re easy to make and are perfect for passing around the table. Choose from ham and cheese, cucumber or egg salad sandwiches.
Cakes
You’ll also want some cakes for dessert with your picnic tea party. Try sticking with cakes that aren’t too sugary or rich, so they won’t upset your stomachs. Some
Scones
Scones are another popular option for an English tea party. They’re light and fluffy — perfect for dunking into your cup of tea!
Pastries
Pastry options include cookies, fruit tarts and mini quiches. These items can be served after the meal has been completed or throughout it as a snack option or dessert option.
Conclusion
Finally, you must choose the ideal spot for having your tea inspired picnic. You can’t go wrong with a lovely park or nearby lake, but we advocate for a beach picnic set up, since sipping tea by the sea sounds like too much fun.
Purchasing some pastry stands will add extra excitement and transform your picnic to one of richness, refinement, and luxury. Your tea time awaits you!
