FIRST TIME TRYING BRITISH BISCUITS AND TEA!

As an American living in London, I recently realized that there are a lot of "British experiences" that I have yet to try! So in today's vlog I'm visiting Tesco Extra for the first time and then dipping some biscuits in tea!

Hi are you ETA and biscuit every day and after you take the ciggy out and put sugar only a little bit because you might die and you put milk in the tea real one but not all the milk like you did a different milk but I am very skinny since I always eat tea and biscuit but I think you need to buy more milk and biscuits then you can dip in T and have tea and biscuit eating biscuit food

[@mjtigerfang]

Never dip a rich tea. I actually didn't know why they call it a tea biscuit it very bad at getting soggy and falling into the drink lol and everyone I known who has dunked a rich tea for even 3 seconds lose the biscuit in the tea maybe the formula was sturdier to dunk years ago but definitely not the more recent kind. Bourbons are nice the more finger shape with a bit sugar on them not a fan of the more squared shape they do taste different not as good

[@carlyc9]

Omg anxiety with how long you were dipping the biscuits! 😂 certain biscuits are a risk of breaking off in your tea Paige....for future biscuit dipping! Is brits know that a job nob is quite reliable, a custard cream or a bourbon is a drop risk, that baby will drop to the bottom of your mug and you’ll be drinking biscuit bits! 🤣

hahah I didn't know how long to do it!

1. boil kettle 2. Put tea bag in cup 3. Two sugars 4. Pour boiling water in cup 5. Give it a little stir 6. Pour some milk in whilst mixing 7. Good mix and squeeze tea bag and Ma way

[@NGT4LIFE]

you should leave the teabag for a few minutes before the final mix and squeeze. oh and never use disgusting almond milk.

[@PrttyBrwnEyez13]

As a fellow American 🇺🇸 I can appreciate the positive feedback and tips you’re getting from the British who are more familiar with tea and biscuits than we are. Because what we refer to as ‘biscuits’ here sure don’t look like that ! I would have been in the wrong aisle and had to ask someone for help 😩

[@sunflower9680]

US biscuits are a similar texture to British scones in the UK, so more cake doughy based, but the taste is different to scones. US cookies = British biscuits.

[@PaigeMariah]

Yes, I love how helpful (almost) everyone is! I'm having such a fun time learning and trying new things here. 😊

The last one, should be tried again, although by other brands. What you want is "all butter short bread". It's wonderful. And a proper cup of tea needs cream or milk, really.

Tea definitely tastes better with Sugar!! Thanks for giving the biscuits & tea a try. I only have a cup of tea now if I want a biscuit lol otherwise I only drink it when I have a cold. I’ve never tried it with almond milk though 😂

[@donique4539]

I do not like sugar in my tea

[@mooncubfeed]

This was so wholesome to watch as a Brit! Swirling your biscuits like a spoon for ages instead of dunking them 😂 You’re so cute 🥺💜

[@TaneshiaNicole]

My tea drinking has been influenced by the British since I was a college student. I’ve never dipped biscuits in my tea but the way I make it is so non-American. I’m from the south so people always find it strange how I like my tea. This was such a cute video.

[@ladyshkspre]

I’m an American and a southerner so we are big on tea here but it usually the cold, sweet kind. However I was raised in Europe (Army brat) so I grew up watching my parents-particularly my dad-drink hot tea and YES he loves it with milk. I took to drinking hot tea myself a few years ago but I will admit for the most part, it is really just an excuse for me to have a few biscuits before bed (I like my tea after dinner). My older brother bought me an electric kettle last year for Christmas and it has changed my life, no more annoying stovetop boiling for this girl! I’ve tried most of the biscuits you had and the McVities varieties are my favorite. Hard to come by around here so I usually order them on Amazon. Loved watching this video, I’m subscribing now so I can keep up with more of your British “experiences”. Highly entertaining, lol!!

Looking forward to the other British things you are going to try. If you like Tesco extra you will probably like Sainsbury's, which is similar to a Wal-Mart type store.

I've been to Sainsbury's! I find Asda to be most like Walmart.

[@pamelamark8578]

Christina Arthur-Davis Asia is owned by Wal mart. Sainsbury’s is more up market a nicer store IMO. Mark’s and Spencer is the most fancy of all. You need to try digestives they are the best with tea. Think of milk in tea like cream in coffee.

[@fionafurman9815]

Half American, Half Brit here. Been drinking tea since the day I could hold a cup on my own. 1. Never leave your tea bag in your tea, it’ll turn bitter. 2. Try 2% milk, it’ll be way better than the almond milk. You’ll figure out how much milk you like as you go. 3. Be careful how long you leave the biscuit in when dunking. I usually count to three. You run danger of the biscuit breaking off and slushy biscuit tea is not good. My favourite is McVities dark chocolate digestives, however the milk digestives are good too. Glad you’re trying out British things, there are some things the Brits just do right.

[@casswilson3964]

This was hilarious! I look forward to more videos of you indulging in British customs :D

[@PaigeMariah]

thanks so much for watching!!

[@eviltwin2322]

A rule of thumb for electric kettles is only use as much water as you intend to use (they're big electricity drains), but pay attention to the minimum marker on the guage.

[@eviltwin2322]

A rule of thumb for using electric kettles is only boil as much water as you need, they're phenomenally power-draining and expensive to run! As regards milk, it goes in first for loose tea, but last for bags (because the fat in the milk can block the perforations in the bag).

[@heathergittens3223]

This is a cute video. I'm originally from Trinidad, so we do it similar with England. One step further, we soak our biscuits in our tea. How we usually make our tea is regular milk(especially evaporated or condensed milk(this one is already sweet) that in the US uses for baking only. In the US, I'll use half-and-half. Then It's used with Lipton, Red Rose or Bromley regular tea and brown sugar. Yum!

[@Nitashix]

I miss living in London so much. 😭 That salty and sweet popcorn is the truth. 😍😭 British tea is made just like coffee. My first time drinking tea at work my colleagues were so shocked when I asked for honey. 😂 I started bringing my own depending on how I wanted my tea that day. 😭

[@jamesanthony3072]

Really? Shocked? I’ve been having honey in my tea ( red bush ) for years, healthier than sugar and to my taste much nicer... 👍🏼

Rich tea and McVities caramel are my absolute go to biscuits!!! cute video :-)

I have seen a few “Americans try things” posts that have been bland and on the odd occasion offensive. However your vlog was the most entertaining and adorable I have seen so far and your face when it hit you that you liked the biscuit dunk was priceless. If anyone had said the watching a person boil water with a kettle could be entertaining, well I would have laughed but you not only made it entertaining but reminded me that in life we all learn new things and what seams everyday to some cane be so new to others. I look forward to may more vlogs and appreciate how you embrace the uk culture. Well done and keep up the groovy work

You using the kettle was hilarious - in an endearing way. We call it dunking, rather than dipping and the timing is crucial - or you can end up with your biscuit falling into the bottom of the cup lol.

[@QuietlyCurious]

In the States, we have lots of cookies that are similar if not the same. We just don't refer to them as 'biscuits', at least not in everyday conversation. But many of them are labeled as biscuits, like the Belvita brand. The ethnic foods aisle has biscuits from Asia & Mexico that are real cheap. They might also be called shortbreads. I've also seen 'Walkers' from Scotland at my grocery store. Never tried it tho. So we have lots of options here actually. Snaps & wafers would make good stand-ins for biscuits too.

Good Sunday morning Paige! Question: Is milk the only ingredient you put in your British tea, or can you leave it out? Will you start shopping at Tesco now because of the lower prices there? I always put honey in my tea only. Until next week, thanks for posting.

Hi Annie!! I'm honestly not sure, the only thing I knew to add was milk lol. Tesco Extra is a little bit out of the way for me but we'll see!

[@hollaatthekid1796]

Hi! Grew up in the Midwest like you! And we do it in our family. With creamer , half and half or coconut milk ( it's richer than almond milk) I drink chai with coconut milk in it. I like it really hot and the cookies or wafers ( I guess that would be a biscuit there) I don't dip, I don't like crumbs floating in my tea, I bite and chase with a sip. Yum. We use honey in our tea growing up I use coconut palm sugar or brown sugar now.

[@MsGlobegirl]

Everyone please understand that in America we know what biscuits are, we know how to use a kettle - a proper one- and we put milk in our tea as well. America is a diverse place with many cultures and subcultures and this is not as foreign to all of us. This is just Paige experiencing new things in her life and is not indicative of the entire United States of America and its people.

[@PaigeMariah]

thank you for the disclaimer...though I hope that was a given since this is my personal KZbin channel and I've never claimed to be a representative of the entire country.

[@MsGlobegirl]

You're welcome @@PaigeMariah

[@anyaw340]

Nah, I think it's okay to admit that most Americans don't know how to use a kettle because most of us have never owned one. We're not a nation of tea-drinkers culturally. Tea is not important to us. Simple as that. And most of us *don't* put milk in our tea when we do drink it. Tea is only big in the South, and even then it's "sweet tea"/iced tea. This is all okay. What's not okay is looking down on others because of cultural differences. Not knowing how to use a kettle because you don't drink tea or don't drink tea in the same way as people from other countries do is a cultural difference. It's ignorant to criticize someone for not being familiar with something that's not part of their culture and which they're not exposed to.

[@SoFrolushes]

I like milky tea so, that almond milk wont do. I use Semi Skimmed milk or carnation milk. Quick dips work best for tea and biscuits. Not every biscuit is good for dipping. But you tend to find out what works for you. Malted milks are perfect for dipping

The word BIS CUIT comes from a French root meaning twice cooked. (Hence cookery - cuisine) That why they are shaped like that and generally hard. American biscuits are similar to scones. (+ clotted cream and strawberry jam - jelly in USA?)

Lovely video. Those McVities biscuits are so good. But please know that you have to remain home when you eat them. They're titled "digestives" for a reason and guaranteed to shed you some pounds after a while! 😹🙈 I love chocolate biscuits with PG Tips tea and some sweet milk. 🇬🇧

[@zeroxox777]

Oh yeah, and sipping is essential: dipping is optional! (And it has to be dairy milk to taste nice: and I think most new tea drinking prefers two teaspoons of sugar - adults sometimes graduate to doing without sugar!)

[@zeroxox777]

PS, if you figure out how to make a perfect cup of tea you'll never want to be without it! That also means perfect milk. The tea bag is controversial - PG tips is actually one of my least favourates. Most Brits haven't figured out that they only drink that cuz it was in the house or it had cute monkey adverts in the 80s - actually it sucks compared to, say, Yorkshire Tea - extra strong (in a big cup!).

[@boeinga370]

And the reason the tea tasted like water is because you left the tea bag in for literally 2 seconds it’s supposed to be in the tea for at least 4 minutes

[@chubeviewer]

yorkshire tea is the way to go, pg tips taste kinda weird comapred to most tea. Also make sure you make the tea as strong as possible by banging the teabag around with a spoon, then add plenty of milk to balance it out, and sugar always makes the taste nicer if you're new to tea.

I had so much anxiety watching you make this tea 🤣🤣🤣🤣 apart from too much milk and no sugar you did very well ☺️

[@msoda8516]

I wish in us we sold our chips and popcorn the way they do. Also milk in tea is a normal thing in America. I'm from New Jersey and if you order a tea the give you milk. The only teas that don't get milk are herbal, green and iced.

[@missteelondon2075]

🤣🤣🤣 this was the funniest video you have made. Giiiirrrlll, okay you need cows milk and sugar. I wanted to jump through the screen and make that cuppa for you 😊

Rich Teas are called Lionels after the singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer and actor Lionel Rich Tea. Break it in half and put the two halves together to double up the thickness, dunk in tea, hold Lionel with flat edge vertical for structural integrity, this along with the double thickness means I haven't lost a lionel in me tea for a long time.

[@LFCLife-jc2ll]

aaaaaah when she got the dark chocolate digestives i was like nooooo and when she said she wad changing em i was like yesss but then it was dark chocolate hobnobs

[@eilishchattock6583]

The Tesco and Asda own brand biscuits taste no different to branded ones in my opinion. If you liked custard creams try chocolate bourbons. You should also try asdas own brand "malted milk" biscuits or the Asda own brand "nice" biscuits. They're the best 😍

[@PaigeMariah]

thanks for the recommendation!

[@nikkiogundele2836]

i love malted milk, that’s my favourite biscuit

[@benjamindry3516]

did she just put the water in before the tea bag?!

[@jessiecee6564]

I stopped breathing when you were dipping... I thought you were gonna lose that custard cream. I took a big breath of relief when it didn’t happen 😂

[@PaigeMariah]

🤣🤣🤣

[@mooncubfeed]

Totally subscribing, this was too cute to watch x

[@benjaminnichols4423]

How many biscuits with tea does everyone drink every day? I’m ngl I eat a whole pack of digestives every day with tea for breakfast

[@rambrojps]

This was funny, so cute watching you struggle with a kettle. But please tea bag first, sugar, water, milk in that order. Some put water in last 😊

[@PaigeMariah]

haha got it!

[@rambrojps]

@@PaigeMariah and it's all about how you brew it too. Very important 😉

[@monkeejr]

I’ve had a lot of fun watching your vids while working at home. Now I’m feeling like I’m weird since I’m American and add cream to my tea 😂

[@PaigeMariah]

awww so glad you enjoying them!! 😊😊

[@kimbattiste87]

Thank you

As a Brit, you don't have to add sugar in your tea/coffee. My mum doesn't always have sugar in hers but hey you like your hot beverage how you like it, plus it's perfectly fine to have plant based milk in your tea/coffee. Fun fact the term vegan was first coined by a Brit, the person who came up with the term was Sir Donald Watson (1910-2005) in 1944 in order to make it easier to say "non-dairy vegetarian" as that is a bit of a mouthful to say so can't blame him for coming up for that term, he also founded the Vegan Society. I personally am a vegan and usually buy oat milk, but I really love coconut milk, I have tried soy (not my favourite), Almond, coconut, coconut + Almond, cashew, hemp (it's alright)

“It seems like it’s so wrong but it’s right” 😭😭 I’m not a fan of tea either so I’ve been on the fence with biscuit and tea.🥴

[@PaigeMariah]

it was so surprisingly good lol

[@jake_yapp]

i know this is late but it tasted like water because you didn't let the tea bag brew long enough, you added too much milk, and you added no sugar

[@krazygirlheart]

I don't actually like tea, I just dip biscuits in it ha ha sooo yummy! love the vid xx
