Step back in time as Eliza Vincz-Lichack (pictured here) recreates a Colonial-era afternoon tea in Durand-Hedden's eighteenth-century kitchen. This historical reenactment will use an antique eighteenth-century tea set, punch bowl, and more. Learn why tea was such a hot commodity, spill the tea, and swap biscuit and sweets recipes as you enjoy this engaging demonstration.
Eliza Vincz-Lichack holds her BA in art history from Rosemont College with a focus in the socio-economic aspects of fashion in late eighteenth-century America and Europe.Â
