Haha I laugh at this as I went on an etiquette course for work purposes years ago .

This is what they served us. Scones... jam first then cream.

Tea... hot water first. Then milk. Don't stir round the cup but gently move the spoon backwards and forwards in the cup without touching the bottom. Bizzar

If made with tea leaves, the MILK. Goes in the cup before the TEA.

If made with monkey dust in tea bags the WATER goes in before the milk

Mix the jam, cream and butter together and then spread onto the scone. As for the tea, leave it in the bag and make a coffee instead, to prevent a potential argument over which went into the cup first (bone china for better flavour).

You Dont Need to Know, right now

Scones: Jam first, then cream

Tea: hot water has to touch the tea before the milk. So with a tea-bag, it's water into the mug first, milk second. With tea-leaves in a tea-pot (anyone else remember this?) it's milk into the cup first, then pour on the hot tea.

Wow these scream 1st World problems lol

Anyhoo jam first and milk in after the water. In fact if you use the same tea and cup it doesn't really matter whether you do water first or second.

Do you mean remembering tea leaves sold loose in larger bags? Tea seems to be sold in wasteful single portion size bags now, so when you cut each bag open and pour the leaves into the pot, you're left with a few empty bags to throw away! The string is handy to hang them up on hooks, to stop the cupboards smelling of tea.

Earl Grey just tastes like piss weak Typhoo/Tetley with parma violets added

Btw I'm used to putting the water in first so I can gauge how strong the brew is before I put in the milk. When I put milk in first the tea tastes funny because because I'm beating the bag in a mix of water and milk.

Bang on brother, a teapot is always good when making tea. You can gauge the strength accordingly and add water if needed.

Fyi, I only drink Earl Grey occasionally, it ain't that bad really

Would a conserve be more appropriate for a scone, rather than jam? If you've gone to the effort of creating such a delightful English favourite and taken the time to assemble with ingredients which won't offend the eye but tease a smile from just looking at it (assuming you didn't scoff it down in one immediately), then to compliment the visual appearance, the taste buds need to be excited and pleased with the wonderful combination of the finest flavours and that's definitely where the fruit conserve deserves a place, with a higher ratio of fruit than common old jam.

Now, as for the cream, surely it's 'blow the diet - pass me the clotted cream' time and a quality, salted butter. Welsh, but I'm biased. Irish is good too, but if it's not saying butter on the label, put it back.

Btw, if you have double or whipping cream about to expire, don't ditch it! Put it in a bowl and whisk in the food mixer until the liquid separates from the solids. That's your butter! Needs washing in clean, cold water a few times and wringing the moisture out, but adding salt for flavor and you've just turned a product you'd throw away into useful and tasty homemade butter.

Anyone got a scone for me? Fruit scone, fruit conserve on clotted cream on homemade butter and open top, not sandwiched together. I make awesome homemade peanut butter with a hint of maple syrup and rock salt and it's a perfect union with homemade banana jam/conserve (haven't worked out the category), way too yummy to make very often and beats store versions hands down.

According to Maria in the sound of music, tea is a drink with jam and bread, no mention of water or milk and always sounded a bit odd to drink. Teatime is a meal which includes a drink, served with jam and bread, no mention of butter, but it was war time and perhaps other substitute were used, like meat drippings or sunflower seeds for oil. As it stands, tea being a drink with jam and bread sounds a bit dry to me! LOL,

So how do you spread jam on top of cream??

Surely you get an even spread of jam on scone if the first layer is jam? It won't spread on cream?
