Community LIFE McKeesport Center held a Victorian Tea led by dietitian, Cindy. She explained the etiquette of the day and how ladies spent their day. This included the proper way to drink tea, gossiping while they ate tea sandwiches and how they dressed in that era. She also told the participants about Victorian tea superstitions, one is that “if you put milk in your tea before sugar it means to cross the path of love but never to marry.” She also explained the history of afternoon tea. The participants were able to choose between seven different kinds of flavored tea and were served raspberry cookies.
