FIRST TIME TRYING BRITISH BISCUITS AND TEA! 

I can’t believe I actually clicked to watch a video of someone having tea and biscuits. I really need to get out more.

I'm British. I learned how to use a kettle before I could speak. I make a perfect brew - not so hot on conversations.

As a Brit this video is hilarious, you were so clueless 😂😂

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! 🤣

I audibly gasped when you said you heat it in the microwave! The utter disrespect!😦😁 Edit: I have never seen anyone learn to use a kettle!😂 you're so freakin cute! Edit again: AND learn to make tea?! That still needs a bit of work 😅 bless your little cotton socks

"Am I supposed to sip the tea as well?" Love 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

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 😩

Should have called it 'How To Use A Kettle In The UK' 😂🤣 And I approve all the biscuits except DARK chocolate Hobnobs, try the MILK chocolate girl! Also, HOT WATER BEFORE THE MILK! and you don't have to dip ALL the biscuits ALL the time! 😉

I will be visiting London for the 1st time in August!!! So excited!!!😁😁😁😁

I'm also from the US and I ttly miss how cheap all of the biscuits (cookies) and snacks are over there in comparison to the cookies/snacks over here! Mindboggling! I know tea is the custom, but I prefer my biscuits with coffee :) God bless you, keep you, and protect you! Thanks for good positive content!

Omg Paige😂bless your heart. Paige vs. kettle 😂. I normally add some sugar or honey to make the tea a little sweeter and a shot of vanilla. It will change your life.

Lmaooo at you using the kettle! Classic!!!

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.

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

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

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 😂

Loved this! Thanks for the shout out 💕

I really needed this today🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣🤣

you're not really british till your biscuit falls in your tea 😩😰😂

My husband put me on to it he’s from Barbados. I’ve always been a tea drinker but never dunked biscuits into my tea. Glad you enjoyed Paige! Another great video! 🤗👍🏽

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 🥺💜

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.

Try Fox Viennese biscuits.. they are the best for dipping in tea

Thanks for this video! I just arrived in England and any extra treats or tips I am ready for them lol. I love it in Europe so much already. Very commutable country.

I was sho nuff expecting to see a Pillsbury biscuit, LOL 😂😂 Good job with accomplishing the tea ☕️😂🥳💁🏾‍♀️

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.

Amazing video, as always, Paige!

So cute. I am visiting for the first time in July. I'm really excited.

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!!

this is hilarious, should have gone for the milk choc hob nob though

HEYYY! Just thought I'd hop in here and say that Paisley (that girl you mentioned) is my friend, though I haven't seen her in almost 6 years. She just introduced me to your channel! Keep it up!!! Can't wait to see more 😁 xx - Catarina

I’ve been waiting for this. The more teas, the more biscuits are good. Ohh I can’t wait for more of this!! Paige aka the Biscuits & Tea Queen

"The kettle is making a noise" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Totally subscribing, this was too cute to watch x

Hey Paige, I was born and raised in South Louisiana by a mom from Cardiff Wales. I grew up drinking tea and my mom always adds milk and sugar to her tea. I picked up the habit from her and that’s the way I love it. Biscuits are an added bonus😘 Enjoy!

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.

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. 😭

Hey Gurrrrl, lol don't feel bad i was thinking " y is she gonna dip a biscuit n2 tea?🤦🏾‍♀️"... 🤗🤗 yep IM AN AMERICAN... from NC.. enjoy ur tea and biscuit🙋🏾‍♀️

Paige you know you should have called Mike! Let him show you the ways of a proper tea & biscuits ....and how to use a kettle. Lol. Love you girl! 😀

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.

It was really nice watching this video of you trying biscuits & making tea.

Excellent vid once again :D I deffo now have you on in the background all the time while I work on my PC :) You have a lovely voice and great spirit 😁 keep up the good work ✌🙌

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

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.

Watching you dip that first cookie in was so funny😂 Edit: Sorry! I should’ve said biscuit, haha.

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.

Lol funny when you tryed to work the kettle 😂😂☕️☕️...I’ve had tea since I can remember ☕️...I always put tea bag in first pour hot water add full fat milk I use to have two sugars for over 30 years but gave it up. I don’t think I’d like tea with Almond milk though....I love dunking rich tea, hob nobs in my tea love the biscuits you picked like them all!! ☕️❤️.... Thank you for trying a British tradition xxx

Loved this. If you have a favorite coffee creamer, I suggest using that. Gives it a little sweetness without using actual sugar. I lived in Germany for 4 years and started putting milk in my tea there. I recently stopped using sugar and replaced it with creamer. Btw..I love all of your videos, thanks for sharing. 🙏🏽❤️

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!

Paige I love and adore you! Watching you attempt to make a cup of tea British style was the funniest thing ever 😂. Confession... I have never had a traditional British tea, or dipped my biscuits (bickies, in slang) in a beverage. Love this video ❤🇺🇸🇬🇧

Looking forward to watching this!

Paige you're Hilarious. I've had British biscuits and I'm still over here across the pond. LOL I had British friends that hip me to them. For us Americans that would like to to British biscuits, if you have a Cost Plus World Market in your neighborhood they sell British biscuits. If not there's always Amazon! LOL

I really don't know what it is, but I find watching Americans enjoying things I'm so used to in life really interesting 😂 it's so astonishing to them. Happy you liked them, love tea and biscuits!

Loved this.. I believe most make tea in this order of tea bag and 1 or 2 sugars then water then semi skimmed cows milk to me that is the perfect cup of tea 👌🏼 I’m looking forward to you trying other things.. would love to see you try a traditional pie & mash with liquor seeing as it’s an old original London food 😃

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.

Love how willing you are to try new things Paige, thought you were joking when you said you'd never used a kettle! 😂😂😂 clearly not!!!👀😣 But you're a good sport & persevered anyway! I'm not a big tea drinker myself, but I do love a good 'dunk' 😂Glad you enjoyed the experience...

I love tea but it tastes a lot better with sugar in my opinion and I like my tea super milky 💕💖

Also honey makes me sleep gooooddd!

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

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).

I haven't made tea in a kettle before either LOL love your vlogs🌞

I'm American and I think British people have excellent taste in their food and culture

I love your review videos. Watching it now. 😊 Also, I have never heard of putting milk in tea....interesting.

Now I'm craving for a cuppa and some bickies!

Im sitting on my bed drooling at 2 am at the thought of rich tea biscuits, I haven't had them in a year

You just reminded me to do my Tesco grocery order: opening another tab now lol

lmaoo the kettle scene tho sis. im from canada so i agree with all the brits on drinking tea

Just found your channel and have watched all of the British vs American videos!

I like both. When I was in NC I loved sausage and egg biscuits from Bojangles and biscuits and gravy with other stuff. I tried to make a cup of tea when I was over there but all I could find was Yorkshire Tea bags or ice tea bags and neither tasted the same as what you'd get here in the UK. I like Typhoo tea bags, I find that they have a more refreshing taste to them than PG Tips. I have a brown Betty tea pot from the early 1900s with tea cups and saucers from 1890s and tea is fantastic. There is a grocery store called Iceland and they sell a mixed box of all different kinds of biscuits that I like to buy. The boxes are always different each time so its like a lucky dip you never know what your going to get. Its a shame there are no real tea shops in the UK, its all coffee shops now.

You are now an honorary Brit! I recommend chocolate malted milk!

Lol this video is entertaining, been in the UK my whole life and I have never tried custard cream in tea before. I'm so going to try it now😁.

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

I just ignored my friends to watch u eat tea and bickies haha it was worth it glad you liked it.nothing better on a cold day.Try some more British foods like fish and chips... Steak and kidney pie...Eel and mash, cockles, bubble and squeak..

🤣🤣🤣 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 😊

I use flax seed or almond milk and I usually add tumeric and cinnamon powder... the bomb😁😁

“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.🥴

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 😂

Happy Sunday. Omg I'm Jamaican and we sometimes dip our biscuits.

Did you let the tea brew for at least seven minutes before adding the milk?😉🇬🇧☕

Love your necklace where did u get them from?

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

Omg you have been missing out your whole life dipping rich tea biscuits in tea is the best

Place tea bag in cup, semi skimmed milk, sugar if preferred, then hot water.. brew the teabag and then take the tea bag out.. Buy Fox Viennese biscuits to dunk in.. Bliss x Welcome to UK x

I luv to dip plain Digestive biscuits in my tea, give them a try next time 😊

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.

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.

You can't go wrong with a choccy digestive and a cup of Yorkshire tea :)

You need to try it with normal cow milk. Also you have to do afternoon tea experience in Greenwich. I believe the Fan Museum does it

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 😂

Sooo Funny Paige. great video

That was great so funny, rich tea yes custard creams no get to soggy to fast and break off

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

the best is dipping ginger nut biscuits in coffee or hot choc

Reminds me of dipping cookies in coffee which is yummie

How did u make ur intro? So nice. I can't picture tea and biscuits going together lol. Do u ever plan on moving back to the us

Custard creams my favorite omg. Yes yes Rich tea dunks real good, next time try mcvites milk chocolate all my favorite.. P. G. Tips my favorite favorite tea.

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. 🇬🇧

I forgot about custard cremes!!! They are really good too!!!!

Yes, you’re right, it’s British culture and part of everyday life.
