How to have an authentic British Afternoon Tea experience 

That's what empires do. Take things and people from all around.

Just shows how big our great empire was

​@@da90sReAlvloc *former

But it took us to bring it together

@@NathanielEnver 'was' means past right?

I'm not from the uk but what other traditions are there?

@@baconpancakes8899 Having your women raped by browns, see your son converted into a wannabe raper without future, girls twerking to random men or selling nudes in Only Fans, etc. Truly the epitome of civilization.

I am Anglo Indian and our family has afteroon tea as well.

I'm from Algeria and my happy hour is tea time in the afternoon with pastries ! But yes Brits know how to make it fancy 😊

So much sugar

@@Schoolsaredisease British are the best.

Its soo wrong how the world has learn people everything gone change....

That sounds so inviting. Fortnum and Mason has provided top-quality tea for over 150 yrs., so they would provide the freshest, fine tea with the perfect complimentary tea cakes and sandwiches.

@@pouglwaw5932 It was a very nice high tea service. I miss England. It is something special to stop and have tea with a snack. There is nothing like it anywhere else.

​@ccasey1904 No, high tea is a very different meal. That is a low grade heavy meal for manual labourers. Think sausage and mashed potatoes.

Oh yes!!

No need to travel UK for hight tea, as any 5* hotels doing this around the world and much better serving then in this video, trust me!

The royals way of life :)

Exactly! I never understand why brits cut bread sides off??? This is most tasty part of bread! Also there is too much bread brits put into sandwiches

Also darjeeling tea

Ceylon tea invent by British plantation owners

@@sprPee Some carpenters don't have nice furniture at their homes

@@traveltectours6561 pani tea as well😅🖒

I read that before. Apparently it also occurred on the D day beaches. Nothing like a morale boosting cuppa.

Since 1945, all the British military have been supplied with AKCs, or ‘Armoured Kettle Carriers,’ sometimes wrongly called ‘tanks,’ or ‘Main Battle Tanks.’ The latest incarnation is the Challenger 3 AKC, which cost around £5.4 million each, which only goes to prove how crucial protecting the kettle is in the successful waging of any war in the modern age. May God bless you, and at all costs, save the tea.

@Dave Bartos Reminds me of an episode in Asterix and Obelix ...

Let’s be honest I’ve had tea when on holiday abroad but the first thing I want when I get back is a decent British cupper. I tried it with bottled water all sorts it just doesn’t taste the same as home.

🎉😅🐒we🔔too 🐿️😊🎉

Di kami ada gorengan plus bajigur mantap banget, mau gak?

I’m a South Indian, it’s the same in our house, noon time it’s always tea, and rest of the day it is coffee.

What has that got to do with the Savoy in London selling Scones and Cucumber sandwiches!!! Absolutely nothing!!!

@@JustMe54328 Not all south , I like coffee not tea

@@drrd4127 hello i am BIG FAN OF YOU

Google Jack Buchanan's "Everything Stops for Tea" hysterical.

Damn right!

Heaven!!

Except for people with jobs. 😅

Eso suena muy bien. Gracias por la información.

Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened, with or without milk, and with a variety of different flavors and additives. It truly is a beverage that can be tailored to suit anyone's preferences. I also love the ritual of preparing and drinking tea. There's something so calming about boiling the water, steeping the tea leaves, and slowly savoring each sip. It's a chance to take a moment for yourself and relax, which is why many people turn to tea as a way to unwind after a long day. Overall, I think tea's versatility, comforting qualities, and ability to be customized make it a truly special beverage that can be enjoyed by anyone, no matter their taste preferences.

I’m amazed that it took until 1840 for someone to “invent” the concept of a tea break with some light food between lunch and dinner. Prior to the Duchess of Bedford coming up with the idea of eating something in the approximately seven hour stretch between the end of luncheon and Dinner service at about 8 PM in aristocratic households, I guess everyone, including Kings and Queens just had to go hungry. For approximately 900 years everybody just starved between lunch and dinner because it was tradition. Alternatively they could’ve just chosen to move dinner up by a few hours. The concept of afternoon tea really never caught on with the American masses because stateside we generally considered dinner time to be between 5 and 6 PM. I suppose a luxury afternoon tea in a hotel is an experience to be savored if one can afford it, but the price is astronomical and good luck getting a reservation. I have an acquaintance in Brighton who serves lovely homemade teas in her home with all the trimmings. The sandwiches might not be as fancy as the ones at the Savoy but the price is sure a lot more palatable. Apologies to our British friends but that carpet in the Savoy dining room would put me right off my food. That has got to be some of the ugliest decor I’ve ever seen for such an over priced place.

Scone is yet another pronunciation that was altered, for whatever reason, when it went into use in a different country.

Вкус соды можно убрать. Загасить соду кипящим сливочным маслом

Easy? How? Recipe?

@@mandybradley3079 растопить масло в емкости на огне. Когда масло начнёт закипать, положить соду и размешать. Тут же убрать с огня

The Americans mispronounce everything😁

Absolutely!!

Great for weight loss !

You have to try the Hong Kong Dim Sum for brunch, it's 3 times more elaborate. Even Gordon Ramsey could not replicate the technique

Haha, what do you personally prefer? Cream or jam first?

In Cornwall, it's Jam first!

Cornwall area - they put the jam on the scone first then the cream, Devon area they put the cream on first then the Jam. ;)

You must learn about Africa’s Sahara Desert tea 🌵 🐪 🏜️ ,

​@@Easy-Peazy For sure. One day I will try North African teas like from Morocco + Algeria

​@@Easy-Peazyyeah but you do know that it cames from Asia especially China as well. The only difference is how it's prepared and the serving part.

Yes, indeed.We're all interconnected as Humankind we're...Tea time maybe, began from an influence of the Old Colonies Independent, nowadays...Hong Kong, too. Tho Chinese are Good imitators, we too got lots of their traditions, also!!

*civiliSed .learn english firzt!.

@@notgadot Civilized is the correct American spelling thank you.

@@notgadotchill out

The spelling is not important, however jam first is of extreme importance.

That what I figured....could never see men doing this. It's sweets for 2/3 of the meal.

This is the way.

✨ There is.... It's called The Royal Family 😩

Pleasure!

Why wait for illness? Go now if possible because later isn't guaranteed. 😊

Dim sum is very run of the mill....hardly as sophisticated as afternoon! This is coming from a Chinese person too.

Thanks for the positive feedback ☺

Jalebi is strictly breakfast item

You can make it yourself, but source some local cream or one that has not been ultra pasteurized. It is incredible rich and delicious.

@@herstrangekind I would love to, but it's almost impossible to find cream that's not "ultra" pasteurized. It's really frustrating. I'd love to try some!

If you have a Wegmans near you, they carry it in a jar. Made in England. It's delicious but I only buy it at Christmas as a special treat.

Whole Foods sells clotted cream! The brand is Devon Cream company

You can. My local grocery store carries it and I don't live in a big city. Look around.

... and endless discussion. Have a nice day Paul!

If I drink a tea in the afternoon I can't fall asleep before midnignt.

You definitely need to book in advance

p p5 May everyone who reads this find a source of inner peace and joy! bh

All for the rich while the others must do with spam and a couple of old crusts as usual😂😂

Just wondering, champagne and tea in almost the same time window? Will they go well?

@@errasainyam Sure They would
