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.

Hi Sue Mettler 30 is recommended by them on their website as a machine embroidery thread but I have often used it for lace. I find it great to use - much better than Madeira Tanne.  I've bought it in the past from suppliers at Lace Days, Havant fair etc. But I checked the websites of Claire's

Dear Sue, I even know that the milk went into the cup first to prevent the fragile porcelain from cracking from the sudden heat of the tea. And you described precisely how I make tea at home. But is there a procedure when there is a large group of people, or are there 6 cup teapots lined up

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

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

In Illinois, I belonged to a British group and we used a coffee urn kept especially for tea  We could make 40 cups if necessary. The DBE (Daughters of the British Empire) that meet in my new area of southern California, use 3 tea pots for about 24 people with the 3 electric kettles permanently on
