I Only Made Bridgerton Foods For 24 Hours (The Ultimate Afternoon Tea)

From creamy lemon cakes, to perfectly cut cucumber sandwiches, to hot buttery crumpets, and even the infamous Bridgerton lemonade itself, I challenged myself to only make and eat some of Bridgerton's iconic foods for 24 hours - a curated menu of 9 droolworthy foods, and 2 drinks. Or, at least, it was supposed to be 24 hours, until I realized the actual amount of preparation took much closer to 100 hours... But the dreamy afternoon tea spread I ended up was well worth it! And the closest I'll ever get to living in the romantic Bridgerton universe. Also maybe had a little too much fun finding all these fairytale-esque music tracks - I hope you do enjoy!

[@TheNoteTaker0214]

Wow! Thank you. ❤

[@bellisimo2943]

Nice👍🏽

[@rubisheikh9796]

The feminine urge to do this afternoon tea with your female squad and discussing life while sipping on some lemonade✨️

[@mizzshy8]

The lemon curd is from the jam factory near where I live! The company has genuinely been around since the 1800s and they make the nicest jam and chutneys. I was really jazzed to see the label pop up in this video! (Also the crumpets looked lovely!)

[@IngaLam]

this makes me so happy to hear!!

[@JerseyQuinn]

Well, well, well. Look at this season's diamond, Inga Lam Chops 🐑

[@IngaLam]

🐑🐑

[@IngaLam]

how this eventually became a 100 hour cooking marathon i truly do not know, but please do share with me what your favorites are from the menu 👀

[@ropro9817]

I have zero interest in period dramas or Bridgerton, but I love Inga so I watched this entire video. 🤠 The spread looked amazing! Nice work, Inga!

[@YJ-es6su]

As someone who is not a great baker, the Queen Cakes looked straightforward and easy to make. And adding a ton of citrus zest? " kzbin.infoUgkx99C3fesMou8hRW_KTRsagzbwEvwvaGb2?si=eFARildTkTU6KZ2G

[@VoidBringer_98]

I'd say the Charlotte Cake was my favorite for sure. The way you described the kippers snack you made definitely had me curious to know what it tastes like though

[@michaelchang5386]

@IngaLam can u make a part 2 of 24 hours of briderton food please ! i love it so much

[@CyrusTheVirus187]

Did you eat all.of it or just made it for a vid ?

[@Itsahibaa99]

QUEEN: "A season's diamond is determined by what she can do, not simply by her beauty. You my dear are gifted, your intricate details to every item on the table, your flawless presentation and the hosting of the afternoon tea was truly spectacular. You, my dear ARE the season's diamond!"

[@delicate_lace]

The YorkshireGold tea has the royal warrant! That tea is served to some of the monarchy (Twinings has this too since the Queen liked their Eng breakfast!) (googled bc words?) It is granted for up to five years at a time as a mark of recognition for the ongoing supply of goods or services to the Royal Household.

[@IngaLam]

this is incredible, wow. thank you for this explanation!!

[@jacquiejeanconway7541]

Since it specifically mentions the Prince of Wales, this is the tea that Prince William drinks. Or Charles at the time it was created.

[@JamieHaDov]

To get the “by appointment to” the royal issues a Royal Warrant. Anything that currently says “prince of wales” was issues by Charles before he became king. Starting in 2025 anything that says that will need to be issues by William. Charles III started issuing “by appointment to the king” this year so anything that still says his mum is at least from 2023.

[@saskia5175]

It's also really good tea, and really popular

[@kerriemaxwell7950]

UK person here, so the by royal appointment logo indicates it is used in the royal household. So in case The Prince of Wales (depending on when this was imported could be Charles or William) has this tea.

[@paigemarch22]

this is perfect! I'm planning on doing a tea party for my sister's birthday tomorrow!

[@IngaLam]

share the details with us!!

[@paigemarch22]

@@IngaLam you were right it took so much time lol but it was so worth it watching my sister's little girls wide-eyed and amazed because right before their eyes was the tea party of their dreams. I baked queen cakes, cranberry scones, ham and cheese focaccia sandwich bites, tuna and crab toast points, lemon yogurt cake and sugar cookies. And since my nieces couldn't drink tea, I poured fruit juice on their tea cups instead. it was so cute how their tiny hands ever so carefully handle the tea cups knowing they are delicate. (I bought a tea set specifically for this occasion)

[@traceymargaret6973]

As a first gen non-Brit and someone whose granny cooked like this I can tell you raisins are not currants. Currants are their own thing and they grow either black or red. Similar to raisins but muuuuch smaller.

[@wendybrody979]

Just came here to say the same thing. And orange flower water and mace aren't hard to find.

[@onyxxxyno]

​@wendybrody979 I live in a small town in Texas and my grocery store has mace and orange blossom water. Also easily available online.

[@hiitsmeyanii]

The mini crumpets you saw are welsh cakes! If you ever get the chance definitely make/ try them! They're crumbly melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

[@moorenicola6264]

And much quicker and easier to make than crumpets. Poor Inga!

[@maryannetolentino1568]

As a baker, I am truly impressed on the dedication for this shoot! Congratulations!

[@Hanniballectershiss]

Girl you look so good in this video I didn't hear what you said for the first like 2 mins the hair the makeup the dress 😍 (also at the time having Lemons and any Citrus was kinda a flex that's why they pop up so often in the recipes and they drink lemonade so much and that why Queen Charlotte was almost offended when Francesca didn't drink the lemonade and having so much food out at the table was a flex too that's why the tables full some ppl might think its just set dressing but they really had those tables stacked to look good)

[@punchpineapple]

That was amazing! As an Australian raised on British food, I'm impressed by your attention to detail with getting the right vibes, in line with the show. I saw the beautiful spread and was like, "Invite your friends!" so it was so satisfying to see them share it with you. ❤ And thank you for introducing me to kippers - I've never tried them and am excited for an alternative to tuna, which I've developed an allergy to.

[@LilyShard]

This was SUCH a joy to watch. As a big themed girly and a huge bridgerton fan, I am inspired to say the least. Definitely want to give some of them a try. Inga coming in strong as usual!

[@emy7873]

That's fine, if it's bridgerton themed people should not expect any form of historical accuracy 😅 The little tidbits of history were fun though! Especially as a lover of a particular food history channel 😄

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

Totally agree. I think some history is fun to learn, but it is a fanciful experience, as it is Bridgerton. 😊

[@jacquiejeanconway7541]

Amazing video, Inga! The love, the work, and the passion can be seen literally in every single dish. Your hard work and research has put on a whole new level girl! Thank you for sharing this journey with us. It was amazing to see!

[@IngaLam]

❤️❤️🫶

[@Whatsit2yahh]

The crumpets you saw are actually Welsh cakes. So tasty with butter on or just sugar. Also there were scones too

[@bleumarin1968]

nice video as usual, crumpets and English muffins are different though in the UK, crumpets have wholes on the top when English muffins don't

[@jessicasolis8418]

This brought me immense joy. Could feel your light and warming presence through the screen. Beautiful spread

[@JulieVandenKerchove]

I think a big WOW is in order here. What a feast and what a baking marathon!! You are a baking queen 😄

[@Dani.P.F.]

This is art. Quality content. I'm inspired to make some desserts!

[@rarararey]

I just finished this video - this is crazy amazing!! Your friends must feel so lucky! Enjoy!

[@kylesebastianilano4606]

Set aside your amazing looks, love the effort that you put into cooking and talk about the love that was added in each and one dish, honestly you deserve more recognition!!

[@КаринаГалимова-с8щ]

Wow, you are genious, seriously! I'm rewatching this video for the second time and still can't get over my emotions 💌

[@PaulLoh]

Watching you cook makes me happy. As much as I enjoyed the era when you were doing everything, I know it wasn't good for your mental health. You seem so much more fulfilled and settled now and that also makes me happy. The same feeling I get when I see a friend succeed, even though we don't personally know each other. Just like seeing Steven on Watcher, and Alvin on Babish. The familiarity may be one sided, but it's comforting to know that y'all are still doing what you love.

[@chichichi123123]

Awesome video! I think the "crumpets" in the Bridgerton still look more like fruit scones or Welsh cakes, but I'm glad you did a crumpet recipe anyway - I've been meaning to make them. The appointment on the Yorkshire Tea package means the brand supplies the British royal family.

[@IngaLam]

Really thinking I should do a second attempt and do them better 😭🤔

[@hollywooddarling]

What a wonderful video!!! You put in so much effort Inga, and you really captured the vibes. Everything looked so yummy although I feel super drawn to the lemon drizzle cake. The lemon curd looks so beautiful. I'm also curious about the kipper toast. And the tea party looked so fun and you and your dress and your glowy cheeks look so beautiful!

[@sunny5ma]

It's so good to have you back! This was so good! I loved it! Not only your attention to detail with going the extra mile with the table cloth and the dishes, but just seeing your sheer excitement about the dishes, it was just heart-warming. I cannot even begin to fathom how much preparation and research went into this, prior to this video coming to life, but it was all well worth it in the end. You've outdone yourself, truly. Good job. Can't wait for the next one. ❤.

[@nicoleyoung0511]

Love it! My only note is that raisins and currants are absolutely not the same

[@JessieYangs]

This is so cool Inga! We can tell how much love and effort you put into this video and concept. Thank you for making this for us!

[@sunlightlotus]

I'm loving all the research you did for this video! It feels like I'm spending a summer day baking and chatting with a friend, wonderful work Inga! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@nishasingh4578]

loved this, Inga. Been super obsessed with Bridgerton lately, so this was a delight to watch! superb work!

[@kojima4165]

WOWW the dishes look so good! This entire video was so awesome sauce! (I’ve watched all seasons and spin offs in the spand of June and oh my goodness I’m so glad I did. BRIDGERTON is soooooi good 😭🤞)

[@soulinachanda5091]

Love your content so much. I was eagerly waiting for these 3 weeks, and your notification came and I felt so over the moon❤. You make me calm, you're my unpaid therapist😂. Thanks a lot.

[@ddeokjinnie818]

This seems so fun to do 😻😻. The commitment to this is crazy

[@djaswome]

The amount of effort that went into putting this video together can’t be understated. You did such a fantastic job!!

[@erikayahchelle1123]

Back Again‼️ I can just see you doing theme dinners for these popular shows.. I can see people getting dressed up and really enjoying the event. Have you done Downton Abbey❓

[@raeperonneau4941]

This was all so glorious and decadent. Thank you, Inga!!! Living on a small island is mostly fabulous but I do miss having various “ethinc” markets within walking distance. As strange, or controversial, as it may be, as an American, I consider English markets as falling into that category. 😂 The best way, I’ve found, to get the perfect texture in Short Bread cookies is to use rice flower in the dough. It gives them that crisp, snappy texture, that I love in a Short Bread cookie. I got my recipe from my Australian Mom and I’ve never found a better one. ~ 250g (8oz) butter, 2 tablespoons ground rice or rice flour, ⅓ cup icing sugar, 2 cups plain flour. Rub butter into sifted dry ingredients, press ingredients together firmly, turn on to lightly floured surface, knead lightly until smooth. (This shortbread can be made in a food processor; process sifted dry ingredients with roughly chopped cold butter until ingredients cling together).

[@ironlion9172]

This was a wonderful watch! I think what you thought was crumpets in the show was what we call an Eccles Cake. They are delightful but you definitely chose the right food for an afternoon tea. Crumpets are a MUST. My grandma was overjoyed when I watched this video with her because half of the things you made was what she would used to make for sunday tea. Well done from England!

[@sarahk4895]

Really enjoyed this one, Inga! The hard work payed off so well. Lovely job on the entire menu.

[@Skinnypnny]

Wow what a champ! You did this all alone! ❤❤❤❤ we need another episode of this!

[@manviharitwal6075]

Inga's dedication is truly inspiring🙌💯 I'd have probably given up after the 2nd dessert. Also, you look so pretty💖 It's like you are glowing more and more every day

[@audreysutherland4739]

Kippers are smoked herring. Lovely with a poached egg for breakfast . You are an amazing cook x

[@ConnieHeartsValentino]

Everything looked absolutely Scrumptious!!

[@clQss]

hi, this is the first video I've watched of you, it was in my recommendations. I'm not a Bridgerton fan at all but I was interested in your cooking. you pulled up an exquisit job at preparing and curating those dishes. for my taste too much sweet things going on but apart from that I mean the effort you put in was so nice to watch, and it was a lovely tea time with your friends :)

[@VoidBringer_98]

Always so relaxing and informative watching videos in this format from you Inga. I also laughed so hard when you decided to break down what "honey salted butter" wss 😂

[@Lafalot54]

Wow this looks amazing!! I just finished the latest season (first half) of bridgerton and you were spot on with all of the foods and drink. I love afternoon tea and no wonder it's like $40/person. I liked seeing you do mostly desserts in this video since I feel like you're more of a cook than a baker. I'm definitely more of a baker than a cook. Also, I have a minor in French and studied abroad in France, and the way you said "mille feuilles" was the English pronunciation. The French pronunciation is more like "meel-fuhie" with more of an E vowel at the beginning and an U (uh) vowel at the end

[@Narm480]

Amazing job! Clotted cream is not usually something you’d eat with Crumpets but more with scones.

[@fatimamadihakhan]

My favourite comfort channel!!! The dedication you put in this video is soooooo soothing and beautiful!!! Loved it!!

Really really really enjoyed this!!!!! Can’t wait to see more of this Inga!❤ Thank youuuuu for taking us along with you

[@celestesimmons8184]

Doing this for my 25th birthday watch party. I had to include a vintage themed birthday cake too

[@juliayk]

the amount of preparation that went into this is crazy! hope you and your friends had a lovely afternoon tea! for the food that you make first, do you put them in the fridge until everything is ready? how does one avoid getting the refrigerator smell from getting into the food (if that makes sense)? i want to try this some day!

[@IngaLam]

for some of these yes! and doing last minute decoration just before servicing. the key is to wrap them up securely for no smell - cling wrap/tightly sealed containers both work!

[@undercrisis]

I love that you’re also a Polin fan! Their story - and what we’ve seen of Season 3 so far - is just *chef’s kiss* ❤🥰 I’m definitely trying some of these for my marathon next week, thanks for sharing!

[@asugarholicslife]

Oh my gosh! This looks like so much fun to eat and so much work! Kudos for making all the thing, I think I'm going to try out some of these recipes

[@sincerelysof]

This was such a fun video to watch! Hope to see more baking session for afternoon tea’s and fun girls get-togethers!🥰🫖

[@Brwngrlgthc]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video! I dont watch bridgerton, but love afternoon tea and finger foods. You made the recipes feel very approachable. AND your joy and love for the show+cook book had me add it to my wishlist! Also went out and bought be some kippers 😅. You saying youd eat it over rice has me thinking i can eat it with my congee. Lol.

[@Akuaudi99]

I give you mad props for doing all this amazing food and did ALOT of work.. all turned out looking fire girl! ❤❤❤..wish I could taste all that

Glad you were able to have a lovely time with friends! I would definitely want more savory items. Everything looks delicious. It has a lot of dairy though. It was a beautiful spread. I’m curious how the tea was?

[@mangojelly23]

you worked so hard for this video, everything looks amazing and delicious!

[@redeye1016]

Haha I live in Essex right near where that Lemon Curd is made! I think looking at the cake in Bridgeton, it looked like a lemon drizzle cake to me, which is a bit different and uses lemon juice with granulated sugar as a topping. It’s delicious 😍 yours looks absolutely amazing tho!

[@IngaLam]

a lemon drizzle cake, I knew it!! I got too carried away 😭 but that lemon curd was too good to resist

[@leslie-anneblake6000]

Well done you!!! Beautiful especially the Charlotte cake and the mango pudding! The crumpets looked delicious!!! Again well done -beautiful !👏👏👏👏👏

love the video! I believe what you think are mini crumpets are actually eccles cakes. Eccles cakes are these strange, flat pie things that are filled with currants and are from the north of England :)

Aww... Scones and clotted cream is the quintessential afternoon tea components... but you did already have a lot on your plate... it looked amazing... I'm British so I was thrilled to find the same brand of clotted cream, but for me it was awful not sure how you found it. I found a super easy way to make clotted cream on TY, if you ever need clotted cream again definitely search for a recipe online super easy.. The spread looked amazing, especially the ladyfingers...

[@dumpsterpanda88]

You got yourself a new subscriber! This was a delightful watch and absolutely impressive.

[@emy7873]

The spread looks lovely! I'd say that the crumpets are likely mistaken though 😁 in the screenshot of the show they don't look like crumpets to me, the ones you made also seem to lack the signature sponginess, more rise and more/bigger holes on top. I'd definitely recommend looking into crumpets again! they are absolutely lovely and light, perfect with some butter and honey, and Warburtons (the main brand for shop bought crumpets) also released a recipe for them which personally for me works really well 😊 I can't buy them where I live but either way they are so much better than shop bought

[@frasersgirl4383]

[@fitfatkittykat1789]

This was beautiful and elegant and inspiring. Do you have the recipes listed anywhere? Not sure it was of the era but cream cheese with dill elevates cucumber sandwiches and is typically used in most cream teas now. ❤
