  6. Making Tea Sandwiches Ahead of Time:

  7. If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy).  Refrigerate.

  8. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator.  Uncover the sandwiches just before serving.
