Cleaning My Tea Set & Baking the BEST Chocolate-Orange Cookies for Afternoon Tea!

[@donnabailey929]

HOLD the phone!! I just received my Valentine Box from Tierra Farms. I just ordered it a few days ago. I can’t believe how fast it came. I also ordered some Earl Grey tea. I had to have a cup of that right away. All I can say is WOW. This box is full of goodies. Coffee, tea and chocolate chips. And the recipe for the orange chocolate chip cookies. It’s a wonderful box. This Earl Grey tea is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be ordering from them again. Thank you so much. I hope you will be doing another collaboration with Tierra Farms for another box ❤

[@tamitarekolayan9918]

My heart is always full after watching you Kevin! I’m stuck in bed after a terrible accident! I get so lonely and when you say things like the cookies we made together or when we went shopping together, it’s such a beautiful thing!! I adore your style and your home is so lovely! God willing I hope to be well soon to copy some recipes and maybe start having afternoon tea! I adore tea!! Thanks again Keven for putting a smile on this painful time in my life! ❤🤲🏻😘

Nothing is better than the mix of orange and chocolate!

The best cookies! Grateful for the recipe that I converted into a gluten free treat. Thank you from Southern California. Combining the cookies with an orange spice tea made a rare rainy day very special with my grandmother’s Wedgewood plates, cups and saucers in the Windermere pattern. My adult daughter loved it all. Hint - gluten free flour does need a few minutes more than your suggested time. Bravo!

Sunday tea with Kevin, it doesn’t get any better 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@maryannmaher3120]

I am absolutely so grateful that Kevin Lee Jacobs invites us into a world that so few of us can experience. When he says things referencing the potatoes that we planted or the items we picked up at Tierra Farms or items that we baked before and put away, we are so included in his lovely peaceful home and beautiful experiences. We love his dog and two cats, the climate he exposes us to and life as it can and should be lived. Thank you so much for your videos!!!!

The crackling fire is such a welcome sight and sound for those of us not lucky enough to have a fireplace.during these cold January days. Orange and chocolate is the best flavor combo! Thanks for another lovely vid. Always enjoy seeing your kitties and pup, and enjoyed seeing the new silver tea set.

[@johnlaw6413]

Mr.Jacobs what a beautiful sterling tea and coffee service! We share something in common. I’m an avid sterling and silver collector. I have a 1901 Gorham five piece sterling service. Same year of manufacture as yours! Love your home, and the fact you are not afraid to live graciously and fully in the beautifully appointed rooms! You should try Simpson and Vails cranberry orange looseleaf tea it’s one of my favorites. All natural ingredients. I should try your chocolate orange cookie recipe.

[@imapip6313]

Another beautiful Sunday with Kevin!

[@dmmuldowney]

Kevin, I LOVE your KZbins, they give me great pleasure and calm. I am so very happy that you have found a wonderful partenr in Mr. Fox, who obviously listens to what you say (your wish for your silver tea set), who supports you in what you do (your KZbins), and must love you unconditionally (by the way you speak of him). In this time and life of so much chaos, you provide a safe haven for everyone, by sharing your life with all of us. Not that I'm unsafe, just that I don't, at this moment, have the fabulous life you do... and I am very happy that you do. Keep up the good work. I don't know what you did in your life before this, but I am delighted that you found this as your life's purpose at this time. THANK YOU, Kevin & Mr. Fox!

[@_de_reve]

spoke my mind! Thank you for posting this comment as there are many of us who think exactly like this!

[@janekelly8708]

When I was a very young child, that was my job to polish silver before every holiday. I still have a few pieces from my grandparents. Because of you I have been treating myself with fresh flowers every week it's the little things that bring such joy. Thank you

[@paulathepoodlelover]

Thank you for your beautiful piano in ALL of your videos. ALL very soothing. Lovely tea set, lovely tea. 💙 thanks again.

[@lilliandavids643]

OMG Kevin! That tea set is to die for! Bravo Mr. Fox, for your excellent taste and negotiation abilities to get this gorgeous set for Kevin Christmas gift! Teatime videos, bring a special remembrance of past times, when that ritual was observed daily at 5PM in the country I grew up in South America. Silver sets and porcelain tea sets, was the norm, as were the little finger sandwiches and pastries! A tradition we took after the English customs! I still have my tea cup at 4PM (a little earlier, since I live now in the US) and although no cookies or finger sandwiches are involved, it must be in a beautiful English porcelain cup. Thank you for all the wonderful videos that you post. Today our dessert was your "Creme Brulee". It was fantastic, and we still have enough left for tomorrow!

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Nice to see the microplane grater. It started when Lorraine Lee, wife of one of the owners of Lee Valley Tools in Ottawa, needed to mske an Armenian orange cake and swiped a new tool hubby brought home from the store. Lee Valley Tools has expanded across Canada since and is a favourite "toy store" for many of us. I can easily see you in one.

What a beautiful gift and I know you will use it! I don't really mind polishing silver either. I use my silver flatware everyday the only downside is it does require hand washing but that takes less than a minute and I think its worth it. Everything looked lovely, thank you for sharing !

[@Nylorac83]

I love the coffee and tea set Mr Fox gifted you. It’s stunning. Also I’m so happy I discovered your KZbin channel. I so enjoy watching you and usually watch every night before I turn in. You have the most soothing voice with a beautiful cadence. I’m a retired/ disabled critical care nurse who just turned 71. I was Born in Georgia but lived most of my life in Alabama. I was happy to see you make chicken and dumplings. Here in Alabama dumplings are flat affairs. My mama’s Georgia dumplings were fluffy and puffy like yours! We rarely had chicken so she would boil potatoes and when fork tender would stir in butter, milk and flour slurry to thicken and season. Then in would go the fluffy dumplings which I was in charge of monitoring. Haven’t had any in over 50 years. Thanks for dredging up the memories!❤

[@Nylorac83]

Also I know the dumplings comment is out of place but wanted to share.

Oh my friend. I have never seen such a beautiful tea silver set. Mr Fox surely does have fine taste. Your tea video reminds me of one of my favorite television shows. Downton Abbey. So classy and elegant. I think I would live at Tierra Farms. Amazing store. The cookies Well what can I say? Whoever put orange and chocolate together must be praised. I’m definitely going to make those. What do you think about a very light orange glaze on top? Too much? Your fur babies make me smile. Such cuteness. My doggie barks when he sees them. Thanks again for another awesome video. Hugs

Great catching up with 'Cosy' Kevin. I was called away to help a friend with her 90 year old mother on 15 December. So missed 'Christmas' as I was in Devon for over 5 weeks..... Though we tried to give Anne a good, probably her last Christmas on this earth. It was very tiring and stressful Particularly, later with other siblings...... long story. But I am glad to be back in Dorset to catch up with everything put on hold since 15 December. So watching and catching up with Kevin is helping me to 'heal' and relax again! Particularly, after the stress from the ungrateful, unappreciative, nasty selfish and cruel, hard hearted siblings of my friend 😢. Thank you Kevin 😊 👏 heart❤ x Mary UK

[@mhawley407]

You probably already know this, but! Once silver is polished, if it is hand washed in regular old Joy or Dawn, or some other liquid dish detergent and water, it will retain its shine. The washing, weekly or biweekly removes the contaminants that cause oxidation and tarnish. It works! The tea food looks delicious!

[@justanonymous5681]

Thanks for the tip as I did not know this. 😊

[@melodiegay1846]

Good to know. Thanks

[@Moluccan56]

[@princesse523]

Oxydisation only needs a gentle touch to be removed, like dust. No special product. Just like silver jewels. Passing with a towel is enough if done regularly

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

great tip! I cheat and cling wrap silver and it never oxidizes.
