- These are the simple (and simply delicious!) sandwiches that I was served, on several occasions, at Kensington Palace. I hope you find something wonderful for your own Afternoon Tea. The recipe for Sugar Cookie Tartlets is on my website here: www.agardenforthehouse.com/su... Thank you for watching. I enjoy your company!

I use a thin spread of garden vegetable cream cheese on cucumber sandwiches. Lovely. Tasty. And still dainty.
That sounds yummy!!!♥️
I have done that it's grest
Pretty tea pot
@@christinafaughnan277 I thought so too! Love stuff like that!🥰🧜♀️💝
Oh Wow! That’s what I put on mine. It is definitely delicious. I haven’t had any in a while. I think I will make some soon 😊♥️
I think a TV network should pick you up for one of their cooking programs!
You are always that good in your elegant and informative presentations, worthy of that level for national TV. You also speak well, enunciate and
level of voice is just right!!
Thank you for your kind comment. I really appreciate it!

Kevin love your tea sandwiches fit for the King.
he reminds me of pepin, always calm & going with the flow. i do enjoy kevins shows
@@mjkay8660 so effortless and natural
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.
Oh shit Rachel 😳 I didn't know this and I'm a brit! Gonna get do that to stop staining my builders cup 😂
Thank you for the tip 🙂
A good tip thank you
Wrong ! Add the milk to the tea once poured to get your desired taste
🙏🏾✅🙏🏾✅💯🍵this American thanks you for that 🍵/information 😁
Kevin, you have outdone even yourself. That is the most beautiful Tea Tray Display I’ve seen. Bravo, beautifully done 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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!
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!
Everything looks yummy. Do you add milk to your tea? I have noticed a lot of people do.
Very good idea
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.
Oops, I forgot the tea sandwiches, a whole assortment.
So cute love the gloves!
I remember always wearing white cotton or leather gloves to church as a child in the 1960s.
What fun !
I absolutely LOVE this!
Thank you. 😊 Easily explained in a very relaxed and stylish manner. Not hyper manic like Gordon Ramsay....Much appreciated 😊
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.
I was going to say Tarragon, if you are like me and feel nauseated at the mention of horseradish.
@rosemarie study,
Would that be smoked or poached salmon?
🌾
@@OceanSwimmer Always smoked
@@lizlawley6680 I'm familiar with horseradish and beef.However I'm concerned delicate chicken might be overwhelmed.Otherwise I find this video wonderful.
@Donielle I agree about the video, and the lengthwise cucumber slice makes a lot of sense.
That room is stunning, the table beautifully set. If only people would return to gracious living.
Thank you.
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 CZcams 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.
I *love* the cucumber slicing tip! I do like the way the rounds look but you’re right they fall off/out and it’s hard to get a good bite. This idea is genius.
Hi Kevin, this is Amy. I just love you're recipes and how you explain them. I was watching a lot of Queen Elizabeth videos and fell on one for afternoon tea. You were next video which totally excited me. Thank for all you sharing and caring. I like the scaps too to nibble on or I'll chop them up and mix them with some mayo or mustard(depending on what the scaps are) and possibly a hard boiled egg or shredded chicken or beef or ham and make another spred for a mystery sandwich. I'm from 9 kids so there was never any waste🙂
Excellent Amy!
You are so kind to invite us to Tea! Lovely and elegant setting in your music room!❤️Love this video and the correct way to make all those delicious sandwiches! Love seeing all the accessories for the Tea! This really brightened up my day! Thank you❤️❤️
This was a joy. Yes, more please.
Ditto. x
This is lovely, tea sandwiches never fail to warm the soul.
Absolutely loved this! I bought my granddaughters beautiful tea sets when they were very tiny for their wedding gifts from me. All were under ten years of age. We don't generally have a tea time here in the U.S. or at least the general population but we do have teas and luncheons in lady's circles. I've always loved the idea of having a tea time everyday. When we were in Europe my favorite time of the day was tea time. I always gave my grandchildren little teas throughout the years. I want them to foster a love of tea as I have since childhood and start having afternoon tea time daily All the little sandwiches, tarts and such are so beautiful and dainty not to mention delish. I wish people in the U.S. would slow down and have a moment to just enjoy life and the simple things for a few minutes.
I stumbled on your channel and decided to watch. Everything looks so good. I especially Love the Irish butter on the sandwiches. I will definitely try this. We keep Irish butter in our refrigerator at all times and absolutely love it. Now I've got to plan a tea for us!
Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Aloha Kevin,
Yes please, MORE afternoon tea and some High tea videos. Love your videos!
This makes me miss my dad. He would be right beside you enjoying every minute. ☺️
I wonder if you've ever tried a creamy blue cheese, just a bit, creamed into the butter, for the cucumber sandwiches. Very yummy
That sounds simply incredible!
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!
Good Morning!!!!! What a lovely way to wake up ❤️a video of You having tea ☕️ with us!!!! How I wish your home was a bed and breakfast!! I would come all the time as I am sure a lot of people would 😊. Everything looked so lovely and beautiful... thank you for another peaceful, lovely morning with you. Your elegance and style are always very soothing and impeccable!🥂💐🥂 I wish your videos were longer ❤️
Thank you so much!
Yes to more tea recipes! Your sandwiches look delicious!
Oh, yes!
I second that request!
Hints for Holiday (Christmas) teas would be fun, if you haven't already done. 🎄 Thank you!
I LOVE your Music Room!! Wish I had one, but I will sit and listen to Classical Music, which I also love when I have your Tea Sandwiches. Yes, I WOULD love to see more of your recipes. Keep them coming.
I love tea parties. My mom and I used to have tea parties every so often. I love adding cream cheese to some finger sandwiches instead of butter. I would love to see more tea foods. Thank you for today. P.S. the butter with Raspberry jam I’d absolutely phenomenal. (seedless of course).
WOW! I'm new to your channel and absolutely loved every second of it!! Thank you so much! 💖
Yummy
I absolutely love the setting he used. So pretty
This video did my heart good; I’m a displaced southern girl living in very rural North East Washington state where afternoon tea is not a thing, let alone delicious tea sandwiches. This video does my heart good and reminds me of wonderful afternoons teas spent at Chez Philip in the Peabody Hotel in my hometown of Memphis. 💛
I love your bone china. Moonlight Rose was always my favourite pattern as a teenager. But now I collect Enchantment. Lovely to see both patterns in one video! 🥰
Fabulous video. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to invite my two granddaughters over for tea and tea sandwiches and mini desserts
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and your lovely home with us! It would be a delight to share tea with you. 😊☕️🫖
British person here, just found your channel. Really enjoyable, thank you.
How nice I'm going to do this for my granddaughters. Thank you for sharing. 😊
L💖ve this and love finger sandwiches! I had high tea at Westminster Abbey in London 8 years ago. It was divine! I make my cucumber sandwiches with cream cheese but it has to be softened to spread smoothly. Wonderful choices. I love egg salad and chicken salad also. Thank you Kevin. The music was a nice touch too. The Lord bless you!
I had tea in a church in Bath.
Just a gentle reminder that it's called Afternoon Tea.. an easy mix up. High Tea is a completely different meal. :)
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 .
I would so look for that butter now - although with the prices for butter nowadays, it will certainly not be a regular thing but an occasional treat 🙂😏
Kerrygold is good, too! 🧈
Over the weekend I saw ladies making butter on CZcams, 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.
Where you can find , in US? Can I found in Canada?
Kevin, thank you for this wonderful, informative video. It was so helpful! How gentlemanly you are as demonstrated by the bite you took of your tea sandwich. Most gents I know would have bitten that sandwich completely in HALF! I am looking forward to watching more of you videos. Your music room is delightful!
A delightful video Kevin. I love triangle sandwiches. My Eleven year old Granddaughter made afternoon tea on the day of our late Queens Jubilee , we had bunting outside , it was a lovely memorable day. 🥰🇬🇧
Update to previous post, husband tried your idea for the butter first and the cucumber sliced in lengths. Perfect sandwiches, he says thanks so much. Also, the tea reminds me of my Great Grandmother who would make us the treat of steeped tea as children. It’s a great memory.
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.
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!
Ohmygosh this looks divine! Tea party please!
💜☕🍥🥪
Such an elegant presentation! Thankyou for showing us the art of tea and tea sandwiches 🌸☕🥪✨💖⭐💞
My chicken sandwich filling is the roughly but fairly fine chopped cooked chicken…a dash of salt and pepper. mayonnaise and then some sliced, blanched almonds….my daughter Sara Margaret Luisa’s favorite.
I’m so glad Kevin that finally I found someone making these classic tea sandwiches that my husband loves!! Some parts of my country still have the British Colonial influences and we particularly take our tea seriously 😊like them!!
Yes, more afternoon tea recipes. I love your videos !
Loved your video. The only thing I would add is that we tend to put milk in our tea over in the UK, otherwise your tea making was faultless! ❤️ And we often have a few choices of dessert including scones with cream and jam.
Yes. The Queen herself used milk in her tea, as did almost everyone else.
Yes, a small amount of milk in hot black tea is how I like it, and many other Canadians too
Beautiful! My Grandmother used to make me cucumber sandwiches.
I'm 63 and still have never been to anything close to an afternoon tea. Well,I'm not dead, yet. Lol My Maternal Grandparents lived with us ,as I was young. Grandpop was born in Stoke on Trent, England , and came here as a preteen. He taught me how to make a proper cup of tea, and my love of tea has never wained.
I always enjoy watching your videos on afternoon teas. Thank you!
I loved this! Thank you, and yes more tea recipes please :)
Thank you! 🌹 You can also try mascarpone with the cucumber. It’s delightful.
Oh. This sounds yummy.
Mascarpone with strawberry or raspberry jam.. It makes a good alternative to clotted cream, if you can't find clotted cream. Good on scones.
That sounds delicious!
@@lizlawley6680 Mascarpone with jam sounds so good! I also make a clotted cream alternative by just beating unflavored whipping cream until it has the same consistency. Very hard to tell the difference, and it often tastes fresher than the imported clotted cream in jars (though I use that too). Yay to tea!
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 always saw people using clotted cream on their scones, when watching TV and wondered if I could make my own and what it tasted like. I love the whole idea of afternoon teas.
Thank you for the low key low stress delicious recipes!
I get such a great energy from you. My 4-year old daughter and I love to watch your videos to relax in the evening!
FIRST TIME VIEWER AND I AM SO IMPRESSED! EVERY SANDWICH CHOICE WAS GREAT AND BLACK ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA WAS PERFECT. I WILL DO IT! THANKS!
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.
Haven't done a proper tea since she passed, so it was nice to watch someone make their tea for a change. Lovely. ☕🍵🍋🥛🐄✌🏽🧓🏽
Never cream with tea please. Always use milk.
Absolutely lovely! Simple elegance. My grandchildren absolutely loved the afternoon tea after school when they got home. My grandsons were always thrilled when it was their turn to pour. : ) Wonderful memories. Thank you again for a lovely afternoon tea experience. God's blessings to you.
Kevin....thank you....love the calm way in which you explain the recipes ....also your Music Room gave us the Kensington Palace experience....really nice
This is the first of your videos I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. Very enjoyable and educational. Looking forward to seeing more.🌹
What an awesome memory of London! Great tea sandwiches that are perfect for summer! Hope you have a great day and weekend Kevin.
Lovely presentation served in a lovely room. Thank you
Love, love, love the “tea” videos! Taking tea is one of the simple pleasures in life. Thank you Kevin!
This is exactly what I was looking to make😍 Thanks a lot. Sandwiches are lovely and Bon appétit!
What a beatiful table set, I loved the tea strain, thanks for sharing. Greetings from México.
Thank you for tea time. That was fun! Love, love, love the beautiful china!
This was wonderful. What a beautiful room in which to enjoy tea. Thank you.
Took a trip across the pond from NY to London and each afternoon enjoyed tea and sandwiches aboard ship. Time to start it at home. Thank you for the inspiration. Looking forward to future tube visits with you.
I'm so glad I found your channel!
Yes, I would love to see more tea recipes.
I love that blue Royal Albert plate, the name escapes me at the moment. The sandwiches look great.
Wonderful sandwiches an decoration. A few minutes ago, I made some sandwiches for my family, first time with cucumber in your style! You are an inspiration for my life! Thank you for all these videos, the chance to learn more about your culture. But last but not least: All done with happiness and love, that's medicine for my old german soul!!!
This was fun to watch. And inspiring. Loved the dishes especially!🇨🇦💕
Kevin! Have read many times about tea sandwiches. What a feast for the eyes. Beautiful. Going to slice my cucumbers longwise. Thank you!
What a delightful video. How nice of you to share and demonstrate these classic little gems AND for demonstrating how to make a pot of tea. Thank you for not clinking your spoon against the cup as you stirred.
Thank you for recommending bread that I can find in the regular grocery store!❤
Would love to see more “sweets” for tea time!
It was a delight watching this video , everything looked lovely and I really want a cup of tea right now. Thank you for this video.
I love the enthusiasm and warmth in these appreciative comments! And I'm not even into tea sandwiches! However, I really enjoy seeing how much this lovely presentation means to people!
Beautiful tea set makes the treats so much more enjoyable! Thank you for your tips and tricks to making a simple tea service look just lovely.
Here in the South of USA we make tomatoes sandwiches as well. We lightly butter the bread though (rather than a stiffer application), which "leaves room" for the mayo. Homemade is always best but store bought is usually fine, just not Miracle Whip- too sweet...unless that is your intention which makes it fine. Then quarter inch slices of tomatoes, seeds removed to a respectable level, are pressed between paper towels- dish towels are even better, more absorbant- until most moisture is drawn off. Assemble: firm white bread, butter, mayo, tomatoes, similarly prepped bread to top. Trim crusts. Arrange on your grandmother's silver platter with doilies beneath ( never allow acidic foods touch silver). Oh, how snobby we can get!! Thank you for letting me recall a proper tea.😘
If you remove the crust before you put any filling on it you can use the scraps for breadcrumbs.
I noticed that too. Would be a shame to throw all that away because it has filling on it. Otherwise it looks very tasty. Might try that out in two weeks when my aunt is coming for a visit :)
This reminds me so much of the wonderful little sandwiches my mother made. Everyone who came to our home enjoyed these.
Thank you for this delicious reminder.
How lovely! Thank you so much for sharing this exquisite, elegant and very civilized afternoon tea! I just love this!
Kevin I loved this video, I went to London last year and could not a reservation for tea and was so disappointed. I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for inviting us to tea in your beautiful music room. I will be making finger sandwiches and tea very soon, more afternoon tea videos please! Thank you Kevin,much ❤️ from California.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I use Harney & Sons tea as well. Pepperidge Farm white bread was my go-to bread for my sandwiches but sadly it disappeared from grocery shelves, I'm pleased to hear that it is still available! Thanks!
I live in North Florida and we, too, have been unable to find the Pepperidge Farm bread.
It takes DEVOTION to organize such details. Lovely recipes and great presentation.
Hello Mr Kevin. What an absolute delight to come across your afternoon teas! You have me hooked as I do have afternoon tea but it is always Earl Grey and we read stories for our little bit of culture! Anyway, now I'm going to try some of your sandwich ideas and I spy petit fours on another video which I love. All is calm and perfection in your beautiful music room and it really is a welcome change to the crazy pace of life we put ourselves though most of the time.
Have you ever tried a mixture of Earl Grey and Orange Pekoe? - makes a very nice tea.
Great recipes. We love afternoon tea at home in the weekends.
Great idea for my brunch time birthday party.
So elegant!
I'd love tea in the music room.
Tea making purist here. When you make the tea, you take the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot. Loved this though. Such fun.
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 !! 🌹
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.
I loved this video and will now watch your others . How wonderfully you presented the delicious relcepies!!!
Adore having tea parties people feel so glamorous yet it's so simple and elegant. We love oolong tea and your recipes they are a hit. Thanks for the horseradish mayo hack it's wonderful. The Midwest loves you... From TOLEDO OHIO.
I always wanted to taste these classic sandwiches. I've seen it in some english series and movies. thank you very much Kevin, im going to taste it at last. Bravo!!
I shouldn't have watched this before breakfast! I love cucumber and egg salad sandwiches. If only my husband did as well. Thank goodness for vaccines, so I can get together with some friends who would enjoy this as much as I would!!
Watched this entire video with a big smile on my face. Thank you.
A complete delight to watch😊 Thank you so much. I would love to see more afternoon tea recipes. I appreciate your attention to detail.
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..
Hi Linda - Thank you so much for subscribing. More tea recipes coming!
Ooh, cream cheese with nuts and honey is a new one to me, and sounds tasty. Thank you for sharing!
Our homeowners association recently hosted Afternoon Tea for 20 women. It was lovely with 5 different kinds of little sandwiches and 6 different sweet treats. It was lovely!
Kevin, I love the simplicity! People derive real joy from these "pedestrian" foods presented with elegance & ceremony.
Tea ☕️ with the music 🎵 Wow 🤩 Wonderful 💕
Looks delicious! I do like milk in my English breakfast tea, no sugar. Sometimes if you put sandwiches in the fridge for a whoie it's easier to cut them.
Thanks for this video! I will be doing a tea as a surprise for my two assistants on a Prenatal day! (Instead of lunch) great ideas!
Thank you Kelvin for sharing with us . Simple and nice sandwiches .. and yet Allegiant ♥️
English breakfast tea is my favorite . Your sandwiches are so easy to make. Thank you so much ,Kevin.
