Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Place napkin on lap with creases towards the ladies for lipstick concealment

✓Pour tea with the teapot towards you and milk jug towards the guest

✓Stir tea in a back-and-forth motion, not circular, to avoid causing a storm

✓Eat afternoon tea selections bottom-up: sandwiches, scones, then cakes

✓For scones, decide between jam first (Cornish way) or cream first (Devon way)
