H511 - My Tea Party © Hefty Read entire text of story: Return to order form. Personalized parts are in RED. My Tea Party (Complete Story) Hosted by Jan Russell at the age of 4 Try to have some fun Mommy! Your Daughter Arial 2009 It was a nice, sunny afternoon. Jan Russell of Miami, FL sat on the porch swing listening to Joy tell the story of Queen Victoria's first tea party. "It was a beautiful afternoon just like today," Joy said. "Anna, one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting was instructed to serve tea and a little cake in her room." "The Queen enjoyed the delightful experience and instructed Anna to continue to bring tea and cake every afternoon." As Jan listened to Joy tell the story, she began to think she would like to have a tea party and invite Arial, Dennis, and Ron. "Joy, do you think that I could have a tea party just like Queen Victoria?" "I think a tea party is a wonderful idea, Jan," Joy said. "I will help you plan your special tea party." "Before you send out your invitations Jan, we need to decide on when to have a tea party, and what you want to serve your guests," Joy said. Jan sat down at her table and began to think and write down what she could serve. "I will have an Afternoon Tea at two o'clock. Should I serve tender biscuits hot from the oven with jam and butter, or English Muffins?" Jan asked. "You mean scones and crumpets. I am sure that we can serve both," Joy said. "What would you like to drink? There are many varieties of tea." "I would like Raspberry tea, Cherry and Grape Ginger Ale and chocolate milk," replied Jan. Finally, the big day arrived. Arial, Dennis, and Ron helped Jan decorate the room with ribbon garlands and bows. Arial helped set the table with china, glasses, and silverware. The finishing touch was a beautiful spray of roses on the center of the table. Joy entered the room with a very large box. As she lifted the cover of the box, she said, "Before you can attend a tea party, you must be properly dressed." A dress, boas, tiaras, jewelry, shoes, gloves, and purses of all colors and styles filled the box. "Oh, Jan. Look, you can be the princess," said Dennis. Dennis placed the tiara on her head. The girls began to dress up in their special clothes. "Joy is going to show us how to make tea" said Jan. "First, you will need to boil the water in a kettle. Be sure to use cold tap water, as it is fresher, and let it run for a minute. One secret for a good tea is not to use warm water," Joy said. "Next, add hot water to the teapot until you are ready to pour in the boiling water. This will keep the teapot warm and it will already be warm when you add the tealeaves. Add 1 tablespoon of tealeaves in teapot. Pour boiling water over tealeaves. Allow brewing for 3 minutes. This will allow the tealeaves to reach their optimum 2 6-ounce servings, and flavor. This is considered the perfect brewing time." Jan, would you, Arial, Dennis, and Ron like to help me make the Watercress sandwiches?" asked Joy. Joy gave them the recipe and all of the ingredients to make the sandwiches: Use 1 small bunch of watercress, 6 slices white bread with crust removed. Butter the insides of both slices of bread for each sandwich. When all of the preparations for the afternoon tea were finished, Joy announced, "Tea is served. But before you eat, be sure you know your manners." Table manners for Children Wash your hands before sitting down. Leave toys, books, and pets behind.
