High Tea

Not so much a recipe as a collection of things, but I figured I'd write it up anyway because it went over so well.

For the Tea
black tea (such as English Breakfast or Orange Pekoe)
milk
sugar

For the Scones
scones
clotted cream
strawberry jam

For the Cucumber Sandwiches
white bread
mayonaise
English cucumber, sliced
freshly ground black pepper

Optional Extras
cake(s)
cheese(s)
crusty bread or crackers
spreads, compotes, and/or chutneys to complement the cheese(s)
cookies/biscuits
additional sandwiches

1. Make you cucumber sandwiches (preferably crustless finger sandwiches).
2. Lay everything out on one or more plates.
3. Brew your tea.
4. Sit down and enjoy with friends! Spread the scones with clotted cream and jam, sip your tea, and enjoy some cakes and cookies. :)
