Dear Kevin, I am so glad to see you recommend the use of boiling water when making tea. In the UK we would normally add a small amount of milk to the teacup first, then add the tea. This protects the china from staining with the tannin from the tea and makes the tea less bitter. Thank you for a wonderful video.

Your simple sandwiches are more elegant and much easier and tastier than the fussier ones! My mother always put a slightly damp tea towel over her tea sandwiches to keep them from drying out as she prepared the rest of the food. It worked very well. Enjoyed your episode!

[@curtischildress9580]

OMG! Here in the southeastern USA, we honestly put tea towels over top of breads or sandwiches. If the sandwiches are going to sit for a good while, then my mother would put them in covered Tupperware trays & add a few slices of apples into the trays to prevent the bread from drying out. The apples can then be used to dice up into salads.

So much better than butter!

My daughter in law had a tea party for the little girls in the neighbourhood. My granddaughter was so excited!!! Girls were 4-6 yrs old. She put tablecloth on the grass with fancy flowered paper plates, plastic spoons and forks. Same flowered paper cups for tea. The little ones came at 1:00 pm. Long dresses, white gloves up past their elbows. Tierra's from the dollar store were a real hit!!!! They all sat in a circle and my daughterinlaw poured coolish tea from her China pot.. She provided vanilla and chocolate wafers with icing on inside and some other fancy cookies. I think I enjoyed myself as much or more than the little girls. Seeing them sitting on the grass, long dresses, tieras and little white sandals with painted toes of course. Can't wait until next summer. They had so much fun. They all felt like princesses for an hour. Then back to the pool for the afternoon. Back to normal. Oh, now for a coffee and footstool, I'm tired grandma.

When my daughter was little, I prepared a tea party for all the neighborhood girls. I told them it was a dress up party. All these little girls dressed up in mom’s pretty blouses to create fancy dress. My daughter wore two pillows in her black dress, one in front to create ‘bosoms’ and one for an elegant rump. And probably every necklace I owned. And fun was had by all.

[@rosemariestudy7781]

When I make tea sandwiches, I use softened cream cheese with chives which gives a very nice flavor to them. I also make thinly sliced salmon sandwiches and cheese and tomato thinly sliced of course. Tarragon works well with the chicken as well.

[@lizlawley6680]

I was going to say Tarragon, if you are like me and feel nauseated at the mention of horseradish.

[@operationpaperclip3952]

There are some aspects of British culture which I eally love and admire: Tea Time is one of them and today's videos suggestion by KZbin is is sorely needed because relaxing is so important to health and that's why taking time out from everything to put a pause in it, defragment, Recalibrate and energize is so important because stress is the number one Contributor to Deteriorating cascading effect on on health. Closest that the Mexican American culture got to taking an afternoon break is called a Siesta. Growing up, I heard many Ethnicities criticize us for taking an afternoon Siesta, but decades later, reputable research revealed that taking an afternoon nap REFRESHES, REVITALIZES and REBOOTS one's body and brain, allowing for more energy + vision to finish the last half of work for the day.

[@daniellecrevier970]

Dear Kevin, I am a 1/2 French 1/2 English Canadian. A little story about my grandmother. Grandmother and I would have our sandwich and tea everyday after my school. She was without a doubt a "true English Lady". She showed me how to sit, stand, walk, eat, dress, talk etc... Like a true Lady should she told me. Showing me how to set a table, serve food, prepare plates snd trays for service, present myself etc... Many times I have been told by people at meals "do you always eat and sit so well at a meal" Always makes me laugh. I miss my grandmother so very much. Thank you for the great memories of a wounderful part of my life. All the best to you.

[@elenavonpavel-pitts3442]

I was raised by a Russian mother in China. We steeped the tea til it was quite strong. Filled the teacup halfway witj the strong tea; then added boiling water to the dilution we wanted or used a SAMOVAR. FRom the time I was 3-4 I was served tea, tea sandwiches and petite fours! Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories. Cheerio and Huzzah!

[@sarasmith99]

When I was a child, I spent time with my grandmother and her sisters. In the afternoon, we would always have a "tea party" around the kitchen table. Happy memories! Sometimes, it was just buttered bread with sugar sprinkled on it, but we always had tea. Love the tradition!

The two things I enjoy immensely while I'm recuperating are enjoying afternoon tea and re-watching your videos! I suppose I should also add having my almost 37 year old son join me for tea. Yesterday, he tried coronation chicken sandwiches for the first time and absolutely loved them! This is a first, as he has always not cared for chicken salad. He's also gained an appreciation for enjoying a proper afternoon tea with a well-laid table and properly prepared tea fare. And, by the way, my chickens always appreciate the crust scraps from the tea sandwiches!

[@conorsheehan9929]

Very easy and instructive Kevin . I agreed with your choice of Irish butter , it’s really superior ...... and better still if you can get Glenstal Irish butter . It’s a “ summer “ butter using only milk from cows grazing on fresh green Irish grass . If you taste some you’ll immediately know why it is naturally delicious .

[@maryusa8526]

Over the weekend I saw ladies making butter on KZbin, and tried it. It came out very creamy; and easy to spread, but more pricey due to heavy whipping cream costing more (@$8). They make biscuits with the buttermilk rendered. Usually we buy Irish butter and probably will continue doing so. Will have to look for Glenstal. Thank you.

As a Brit well done. Butter also adds much flavor to a sandwich. My mom always dipped the cucumber in vinegar. Shaking the excess off. Cress sandwiches are lovely. Cheese & tomato a sharp cheddar, and I loved potted salmon. We Brits like milk in our tea & a tea cozy to keep the pot hot.

I thought I remembered a video showing how to make "clotted cream" using whipping cream and baking it in the oven. I might be confusing it with something else.

I didn't see any cream. I saw lemon 🍋, which is nice and I know that there are some tea which are meant to be taken with lemon and sugar, but I always thought that because guests are always to be given options that one must always place sugar, lemon and cream, so that the guest may have their tea to their liking? That's how Mama always served her afternoon tea, and we had it every day. I always had either mint or chamomile for my tea. And Mama began taking afternoon tea, when she was a little girl, back when Victoria was still on the throne.

You just popped up in my feed so this is my first time watching. I am delighted to have the opportunity to subscribe. I also think that shapes should be exclusive to each filing. I also like cream cheese with finely chopped walnuts and a smidge of honey and tuna salad. I have successfully used cookie cutters for interestingly shaped sandwiches although there is more waste with that method. I look forward to more sandwich and sweets receipies..

Ooh, cream cheese with nuts and honey is a new one to me, and sounds tasty. Thank you for sharing!

So elegant! I'd love tea in the music room.

Everything looks delicious !! One hint l learned from the best chicken salad that I have ever had. You add a splash of rice vinegar. Sounds weird. But it really enhances the flavor. My brother years ago worked as a cook at a super popular restaurant. I asked him how their tuna salad sandwiches were so great. He said add a little vinegar. Blessings from California !! 🌹

I love your style, as if I were sitting before you while you explained everything. Afternoon tea is a treat we should all give ourselves often.

The Royal Doulton Blue Old Country Roses looks lovely, I have it in red which is more dramatic but I tend to use my Winsome set more often as it's more subtle.
