It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. The CFI plays ATC during this scenario, giving the learner their clearances and fielding requests, just as ATC does. This throws down a gauntlet of challenge.
