High Tea at Home
High Tea at Home
2011-08-10 Sun Rich Gourmet
While afternoon tea originated in England around the mid 1800’s, it didn’t become vogue in the states until the past year or two. Women are now throwing high tea parties to celebrate wedding showers, baby showers, birthdays, Mother’s Day, poetry reading events, fundraisers, a social event amongst friends and more. Consider the following tips on how to throw a flawless, fun-filled High Tea Party with invitations, theme, décor, food, and of course - the perfect tea!
For Black or Oolong tea, pour boiling water over tea immediately. However, if you’re making Green or White tea, allow the water to cool slightly for a minute or so. (Boiling water can burn these delicate teas and create a bitter flavor.) Allow tea to steep. This is a bit tricky because the tea needs to steep long enough to release the full flavor, but over-steeping can make it bitter. Try tasting a spoonful every minute as it steeps to see if it’s reached the flavor you want – and if you like stronger tea, it’s better to add more leaves rather than steeping too long.
Add milk in the bottom of the cup before pouring the boiling water. Cream or high-fat milk doesn’t deliver the best flavor results, so use low-fat milk. To sweeten, use white sugar as opposed to honey or brown sugar for the best results. Feel free to also add lemon if you wish!
With these guidelines, you are on your way to hosting a smashing tea party. Enjoy the good times with your family and friends and bottoms up!
