How to Hold A Teacup And Stir Your Tea Properly

Q.

I'm going to attend a formal tea at the Four Seasons in Boston and I want to know how to hold a teacup properly. Also, where do I put the spoon and do I stick my pinky out or keep it in? Please help.

A.

To learn how to hold a teacup properly, nobody does it better than the British etiquette expert William Hanson. Watch his YouTube video ‘How to hold a teacup and stir your tea properly’ where Mr. Hanson demonstrates how to hold the teacup properly, how to stir your tea, where to place your spoon and where to gaze your eyes while sipping your tea.
