Panic! At the high tea

By Anonymous - 01/11/2013 01:11 - United States - Vancouver

Today, while researching tea etiquette for Sunday's tea, I read, "To put milk in your tea before sugar is to cross the path of love, perhaps never to marry." I suddenly panicked that this very lack of knowledge is why I haven't met a man who wants to marry me, and that I never will. I'm only 23. FML

Wow. I always put my sugar in my coffee before the milk, even before reading this. Maybe I'm a natural-born lover? Still wouldn't explain why I'm single, though.

An even better reason to do sugar first is that the higher the temperature of the tea, the better the sugar will dissolve. Milk will cool it down a bit.

I can teach you proper tea etiquette! Send a invitation out to a dandy of your fancy. If you would like to show him your garden then instruct him to wear a hat. Make sure he knows how to hold a cup. Extending your pinky finger is considered rude. He should instead place his index finger inside the cup up to his knuckle while placing his thumb on top to secure the cup. Try to avoid swirling the cup so as not to cause sloshing. By remembering a few simple rules a good time can be had by all. Just remember to dot your eyes and not slosh your teas!

Sugar then milk. And relax. You are only 23 >.>

This is one of the ones where I really just don't care. Some people don't get married until they are 40 something. You'll be fine.

Before getting too upset remember: marriage is always a struggle. First, for unification, then for equality and finally for independence. You are at the end of the cycle without all the complications. And you can serve the tea any way you want :)
