When you plan
the refreshments, allow at least
three sandwiches and two little
cakes Cor cookies) for each guest,
and a pound of minis or sailed nuts
for each Is guests. If the tea is a
large one, you'll need two platters
OF sandwiches, two Of cakes and one
dish each of minis and nuts, on the
table at one time, and make sure
that for each platter on the table
there's at least one full one in the
kitchen to take its place.
Choose an interesting variety of
dainty sandwiches for your tea.
Oblong brown bread sandwiches
with cream cheese and marmalade
are good, and combine effectively
with round white bread sandwiches,
with blend of tuna fish and may
onnaise between them. Very thin,
dainty slices of an unusual bread
are excellent for plain bread and
butter sandwiches.
An assortment Of dark and light
cookies, and very small cakes pro-
vide the sweet touch for your menu.
And tea you must have, of course.
Tea, when properly made, is one
of the most invigorating drinks you
can serve. It is most important,
especially when making tea for
group, to measure the amount of
tea used and to brew it just long
enough and not too long in order to
insure its best fragrance and tang.
(Three to five minutes is generally
conceded to be just about right
brewing tirne.)
