Nothing's more welcoming than a pot of steaming tea and sweet cakes. Trot out your best china—Rita's mad for vintage teacups!

The Tea


For a proper brew, you need to warm the pot first. When the kettle has boiled, pour a couple inches of water into the teapot, put the lid on and wait till the lid is warm. Discard water. Fill teapot with more hot water, add four tea bags (for four people) and let steep 5 minutes—for a really strong pot—before serving. Try English Tea Store's Yorkshire Tea.
