Tea Time Treat<br />
Tea and scones with clotted cream is a quintessential part<br />
of a traditional English afternoon tea.<br />
The idea of breaking the fast<br />
between lunch and dinner with a<br />
selection of finger sandwiches,<br />
scones, miniature cakes and a<br />
refreshing cup of tea, came from<br />
Anna, the seventh Duchess of<br />
Bedford, in 1840.<br />
It seems the Duchess tended to get a<br />
little peckish around 4pm and as the<br />
evening meal in her household wasn?t<br />
served until 8pm, she created<br />
afternoon tea to fill the gap.<br />
Scones are an essential part of a<br />
traditional English afternoon tea and<br />
are typically served with butter, jam<br />
and cream.<br />
