BTW, is there a trimming rule on lace chat?
here is the recipe for tea concentrate:
Tea Concentrate Recipe:
1/3 cup loose leaf tea
2 cups cold fresh water
Bring 2 cups cold fresh water to a boil* in a medium saucepan. Remove from
heat. Add loose leaf tea to pot. Let stand 5 minutes.* Stir and stain tea
concentrate from saucepan.
Add 1/2 cup tea concentrate per 6-cup teapot (or 2 Tbsp. concentrate for
each teacup) and fill with hot water. Serve! As TPG mentioned – make sure
the hot pots or carafes you use to hold the hot water have never been
“contaminate” by a prior exposure to coffee!

Dear Vivienne,
I know that, and make tea in that way myself at home. But for groups of 60
who want to drink at the same time, organizing 10 teapots to go off at the
same time, and then refills, is a bit of a tall order. And, must admit, I
pour the tea from the pot into a mug from time to time.

Gosh I'm astounded as a British tea drinker. You boil the water you put a
tea bag for each person in a teapot, never, never a cup or mug! Pour in the
boiling water. Leave to stand depending on how strong you like your tea.
Heaven. Unfortunately many of the young in Britain are making tea in mugs
and cups. Awful. Vivienne 😛

I hope this is the right place to go for this help. I live in America,
where
they don’t know how to make a cup of English tea. (Heat the pot, boil
the
water, all that.) Warm water and a tea bag next to it. I belong to a
Jane
Austen group that serves tea this way. We also have a fund raiser every
year,
an English tea as close as we can get it, but they will persist in a
teapot of
hot water and your choice of teabags in your cup. I figure since so many
of
Arachne members are Brits, I might be able to get good advice. Online
they
say use a tea concentrate, brewed with loose tea, meticulously measured
with
the boiling water in the pot. I figure Brits must have socials and
church
meetings and the like with large numbers of people, like 60. Is this a
good
way to do it, or is there another way to do this?
I appreciate any suggestions.
