British Tea
Have you ever heard about British afternoon tea? If yes, have you tasted it? Was it good or not? Would you like to do this kind of tradition in Slovakia? Would you like to sit down and have a little break with your family or friends? Do not know how? No worries.
One day before our Christmas holiday our teacher of English lesson told us to put together our desks to get one big table. We didn’t know what exactly is going on. When we finished, our teacher Mr. Kopčák told us to put the tablecloth on the table and give everyone a spoon, knife, cup and a plate and a napkin. Then we put on the table some ingredients such as jam, scoones, clotted cream, sugar, milk and of course tea. Then our teacher explained to us what are we going to do today. Mrs. Kytikova joined us, too. Mr. Kopčák showed us a video from youtube. It was about the traditional English afternoon tea. First of all we watched the video which was showing us how it should look like. How should we behave, how we should drink our cup of tea and how we should eat our scoones. It was very strange for us because we aren´t used to drink our cup of black tea with milk. In Slovakia we don‘t drink it that way, so we were scared that it won‘t taste good, but we all loved it. Milk makes the the taste of the tea more soften. Then we learned how to eat our scoones and what British people put inside. All you need is jam and this, very unusual for Slovakia, clotted cream. You can not find it here in Slovakia, but you can prepare it at home. There are so many videos of how to make it. Before even eating or drinking you should not forget to have your napkin laid on your laps. Its good to have it so you won‘t get dirty. Everyone had a great time at this lesson. We have learnt something new. Everyone was so so happy of this new experience. We are really thankful to our teacher for this experience, we appreciate it a lot. It was fun, and jummy! We would all love to have this great tradition here in Slovakia too, it‘s great for relaxing with your family and friends!
