Someone can always go around with a jug of milk to add for those wanting
weaker tea, and or a pot of hot water to make it slightly weaker. We over
here although living in Dorset, enjoy the Yorkshire tea, make to the
strength you enjoy using more or less tea leaves. We dislike tea bags.
Enjoy your occasion and your tea.

Ahah! Electric tea kettle!! That would work very well, probably better
than a tea urn, unless we spring for a dedicated tea urn to keep it away
from coffee. Heating the water on the stove takes so much longer it
would make a very big difference. And, they're cheap. Now to do the tea
cozies. But I have a pattern for them. I use the kitted corrugated ones
at home, but I hate making them, so quilt batting for the Jane Austen
group. That's really helpful. But, group, keep them coming! I am
trimming, even though I haven't gotten an answer to the trimming
question.

we used a coffee urn kept especially for tea We could make 40 cups
if necessary. use 3 tea pots for about 24 people with the 3 electric
kettles permanently on the go at our monthly meeting. In October, we
are holding a proper Afternoon Tea for 100 people and will have 2
teapots to each table of 10. I get to make all the shortbread for
the occasion (my speciality). Thank goodness I was not assigned the
scones or sausage rolls.
Last week I attended an Afternoon Tea at Huntington Library in
Pasadena and for a table of 6 ladies we were provided with 3 huge pot
teapots holding 8 cups each and the waitress kept topping up the
water in all of them. These teas were all various flower/fruit
flavors. I was with Americans so nobody wanted a good old cuppa of
black tea. This was the best Afternoon Tea I have been to in the US.
Had so much to eat, I did not need dinner, although the scones were
little and hard.

. 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.
