"Mary-Anne the kitchen maid always puts her milk in first".
I knew Mary-Anne couldn't be trusted.
I was always told to put milk in first so the temperature shock won't cause the glaze on your China to craze
Jordan, LOL!
I always put creamer in my coffee first so I don’t have to stir
@@DrCandyStriper Then you're intelligent! Haha, I believe I read that a lady started this milk tea trend just like you : she didn't want her cup to be damaged by the heat, so she came up with the idea of putting in a bit of cold milk first.
Then other people liked it and did the same, and so on to today!
this needs more attention lmao
I can’t.....stop....watching these... please... somebody help
Laura Legends Welcome to the club she looks down on the maids lol she’s like the maids will clean the carpets with the tea lol Old fashion racism
There aren’t enough videos aaaauuuuhhhh!!!!!! 🤣
I can't help you stop watching these. It would be like the blind leading the blind. I too am shamefully hooked. best I can do is give you a ride to rehab afterwards.
Me too! :)) it relaxes me to see this world, with people taking time when they do things, not only putting effort into things but also doing everything peacefully...with attention and care...I don't like the way we now speed through life...the way we are so stressed and just the way we live nowadays....even though it seems that we have more comfort, we are not any happier...there are some beautiful things about the past...
I can't stop too 😂
Mrs. Crocombe: "I'll need you to prepare a cup of tea, for me."
Me: _sweats profusely_ 😨
Haha wouldn’t that be like Gordon Ramsay asking you to scramble him eggs
"The most important thing is to make it how you enjoy it." Tea positivity, Mrs Crocombe style
Sociopathic Pancake you missed the opportunity to say positivi-tea 😂
@@elenamei413 opportuni-tea, mind you
I would appreciate knowing how they used the spent tea leaves for cleaning the carpets. I am very curious about that.
You sprinkle them on the carpets slightly damp and let it dry. It absorbs odors and stuff like that, once it's dry you just sweep it up or vacuum it up since we have those modern conveniences. It's great for pet odors if you have pets especially dogs!
Thank you!
Very interesting, I work as a Housekeeper, but never knew this, now I do.
Faith L Fascinating! I remember when I was a kid some rodent or other died in the wall behind the cupboard and stunk up the place and my parents put a bowl of coffee grounds in the cabinet and it absorbed all the nasty smell so I presume the same rule applies to tea leaves as well! Thanks for charing!
Lady Talia Storm you would think it would stain....black tea especially...I'm curious too.
This lady is on another level of wholesomeness.
I suspect Mrs C is a bit of a goer once she's out of her corset ;)
@@psammiad what...
I’m guessing you haven’t watched the pigeon pie video yet
We need lesson' s
" How clean carpets using tea leaves - The Victorian way"
RIGHT, she mentions saving the leaves for rug cleaning then just leaves us hanging. Came for the tea...stayed to learn how to clean rugs. LOL
“Others may argue that their way of making tea is the perfect way........ others, are wrong” I heard that in my mind
Mrs Crocombe is always right.
She had to stop herself midway XD
love this lady for being so much in character 💕 waiting for some Christmas special Victorian cooking
Thank you, our Christmas videos will be released soon and we hope you enjoy them.
English Heritage Would you please write out the recipe in the description section? Just listening to your instructions the cake sounded very much like one my Grandmother used to make. :)
English Heritage will there be videos on breakfast food during the week and different foods that are eaten on weekends?
Tenar10r yes me too
Sushmita's Diaries I know, right!? I love how she is really into the character and makes it look so so realistic. I love it
She is a sass master
She makes ME feel like a servant while watching.
I love it!😂
It's so subtle too! Truly British
i thought she was gon say:
"and dont forget to keep the tea leaves. that housemaids will reuse them" 😂😂😂
Honestly that was my first thought too 😂 for the servants!
Loll
@@tcmtcm1133 lolllll
You can totally reuse them and they are still good for another one or two cups!
I am half Chinese, drink tons of Chinese tea
but never have Chinese tea with milk before!
This evening I will try : )
fyi: Chinese love strong and bitter tea.
no sugar, just tea, for maximum tea scent.
Chinese teas are usually not good with milk. I drink a lot of tea and have tried jasmine and oolong with milk and it's unpleasant. Milk is good with black tea.
That day I went home and tried Oolong with milk...
Hahaha You are totally right. That's unpleasant.
Milk with black tea is more Taiwanese thing I guess, their bubble tea is delicious.
Being part Chinese myself, I tried the same thing.. yeah, wasn't how mommy used to make it at all. x.x
Namsai Petite Engineer Perhaps you can buy black tea and make Royal milk tea. It's tea that is steeped in milk.

"And *naturally* we have the *cheaper* Chine tea leaves"
I FREAKING LOVE MRS. CROCOMBE!!!!
I'm surprised a woman of class such as Mrs Crocombe would allow a milk-firster like Maryanne to work in her kitchen! Cast them out!😅
The idea of milk first goes back to the time when the porcelain or china was liable to shatter if a very hot liquid went into it. As industrial processes improved the strength of the cups during the 19th century it was no longer necessary to put the milk in first. But of course the habit continued after that. Another reason some people add milk first is to prevent the tea from staining the bottom of the cup.
@@lechatel Is that also why the pot is warmed beforehand, so that it won't shatter when the hot water is poured into it?
@@garthst.claire3459 I'm not sure, but I know we walm the pot so the hot water going in isn't cooled down by a cold pot, so it brews at a higher temperature.
My friends dad convinced my friend to put hot tea into a cup that's been sitting in the fridge. His mom got so mad she hit him (my friend) so hard it made a red hand mark and when she knew what happened his dad got kicked out for a whole day
I put milk in before my cereal, hehe
This actress/educator/employee of the house is bewitching. She really makes these videos. I'd love to see her explain more of the experiences of members of her social class, their diets and lives and the things that might've been theirs alone, thought too common for the members of the household being served or their guests.
Thank you Jack, some great ideas for future videos there!
I would love to see a video that tells more about the items in the videos. I.e. the stove, the items on the shelves etc. I would also like to see maybe a video tour of the house..
"others may argue on how to make the perfect cup of tea-☝🏻 they're wrong"
💯
I would love to see some longer videos. I'm from the US but love all living history. Especially that having to do with victorian/edwardian life and also manor homes. I have watched so many different series dealing with this subject and it's great to find an original channel on youtube portraying these subjects.
Thank you very much!
Im from america as well. What shows have you watched?? I would to watch some shows about victorian life
What is the manor house called? I can't quite catch what she says.
@@klmueller8575 It is called the Audley End house.
@@klmueller8575 Audley End House. It's in the video description and in the subtitles.
Please keep these coming..would love to see a Christmas series
Thanks again Gail! Stay tuned, there may be some Victorian Christmas cookery videos coming soon.
+English Heritage Can't wait !
Give the occupants of a rather large marquee with all their fancy electronic gadgets a run for their money - prove what can be done with simply a roaring fire-powered oven and a lot of elbow grease :)
And an ample supply of working class gels to slave away below stairs under the brutal regime of the corrupt and perverted under-butler until the Young Master has his wicked way and bestows a big belly upon the downstairs Parlour 2nd assistant undermaid so the wicked gel has to be sacked and ends up in the workhouse selling her baby for gin. Oh how one yearns for the good old days of domestic servitude!
After watching this video, I went to the storeroom of my house looking for teapot to make some tea as my family rarely consume tea in the afternoon. Then I found my Nanny's full English tea set that at least dated back in 1960s I guess, the set included a tea pot, milk jug, sugar bowl and a few teacups with saucer. I am going to use those items to make tea in the future day!
@Henry Tan, Don't forget the biscuits.. lol
Henry, please check the mark underneath the items - it may be very valuable. And _do not_ put the items in the dishwasher!
I want that tea strainer omg
I love this series please never stop
Thank you! Is there anything in particular you'd like Mrs Crocombe to make next?
+English Heritage more desserts please!
Victoria sponge
Yes more desserts, and maybe some stews or some fun recipes like the ice cream :)
Could you please also make Yorkshire pudding, strawberry trifle, pork pie, crumpets, and steak pie?
I adore how the lady is so into her character, it makes the series more alive and enjoyable. Thank you so much for keeping it real!
it's 2am what am I doing
Having tea with the kitchen, what do you think, silly?
@@deadblood0 yes exactly along with the lesson in making the perfect cup of tea. Silly!
Same bro
1:22 well now I don’t feel so bad about putting a pound of sugar in my tea
I like a little tea with my sugar
My dad had a word for tea like that: syrup.
@@ApartmentKing66 just about
This is so calming to watch! I have a Victorian soul and wish to live in that era even as a maid
Louis Peggy
I agree I love history and Im quite intrested in the victorian times.Sadly if I was a maid Id be a scullery maid.
hopegirl518 Ashlynn me too
Watch some videos, there are a few documentaries on TH-cam regarding what servants loves were like. If you really knew how hard they worked you would take back your statement. They were essentially paid slaves. They worked hard from the moment they got up, very early in the morning, until they went to bed, very late at night.
I wish to be in Black Butler working at the Phantomhive manor and annoying Sebastian. Ah, sounds nice.
Me too!! 😭😭😍😍
"Others may argue that their way is the perfect way, the most important thing is to make it how you enjoy it." preach!
PERIODT
💯
This is like the only thing I can cook the Victorian way
That’s because the ingredients used are actually widely available for this one.
Nessa Millikan true
The best part is reading the comments.
The way she holds things is very gentle. How lovely she is..
I love the little side stories you add to this. Makes it seem genuine.
OMG i'm so glad i discovered this channel
We're so glad you did too, Reese! Hope you enjoy.
It all started from that butter making video and I cannot stop watching these & don't know how I'll react when I realize I've finished watching all of them
I’m from Russia, we also love tea a LOOT! But we cook it a little differently😊 Thanks for the nice video! 😍
I hear russians have a long life span. Have you ever heard of a group of russians known as the "Hunzas" Turkestan people. I read somewhere that they live longer than the average Russian. Is that true?
But would you prefer tea over a true Slav drink like vodka?
That brown betty tea pot is gorgeous!!! I am so jealous.
yes I'm in love with all the period cookware she and Townsend's use
The Vermont Country Store sells them.
and the tea cozy 😍
I love this series. I love how she said that the most important thing in making the tea is to make it the way you like it. She is so lovely!
The entire atmosphere is filled with that antique and traditional feel every time I watch one of these videos
I live in America, I love drinking tea, I have mine with sugar and milk as well, the same way I drink my coffee. I was happy to see a tea cozy, my Sister's, Sister-in-law's, Husband was looking for tea cozy, my Sister wanted to find him one for Christmas(We live in the country, but love history, me especially) We traveled the stores, the middle aged women knew what they were(none to be found) the younger women(mind you my Sister and I are right in between, the younger women and the older, 31 and 34)the younger women have no idea, have never heard of one. We could not find one in the Americas, he had to order one, but saw he had it when he visited last.
How lovely to hear! Thanks for sharing.
i don’t know why but i love this woman, her videos, the way she moves and talks... very well done!
So elegant and gracious... Please continue this series. Absolutely beautiful.
I love these shows so much. This lady is plays the part so perfect. Please keep them coming
Now I want a nice cup of earl grey.
Mr Messy How can tea be pretentious?
Mr Messy Your comment in itself sounds pretentious, but okay. Can you recommend some decent teas then? Some people aren't as educated as you when it comes to tea.
Or some people actually like the taste and could care less about how "pretentious" a choice it may be.
I've never understood the appeal of Earl Grey - other than it's perception as the tipple of the toffs. I find nothing appealing about having flower grease added to my Tea. It makes it taste like someone has forgotten to wash out the teapot after previously having used it to apply WD-40 to something.
I very much doubt most people could describe what earl Grey tastes like, and _why_ it tastes like it does. Personally, I think it is an absurd concoction, the "essential" addition that gives the tea it's particular character contributing only to the despoilation of an otherwise very nice cup of tea. Further, it is my belief that were Earl Grey not already associated in people's minds with class (upper, ofc) significantly fewer people would bother persisting after their first taste of this foul fusion.
Your videos are so comforting to watch
These videos are my FAVORITE. Please never stop making them! I love her!
I love how she kept the tea leaves, no idea how they clean the carpets but I love the reusing aspect of it!
I completely love this series! Thanks so much!
This lady is soo charming ! So soothing to just look at her .
She's so unbelievably adorable. I love this lady!
I've been trying to save these videos for a rainy day but ugh I'm so obsessed. I need more I need more !
I love tea. here in America we mostly do ice tea but I prefer hot to the cold.
the most important thing is to make how you enjoy it!!! ❤️
my favourite channel on TH-cam! Very authentic.
I am obsessed with this series, i hope it is continued because i've become dependant towards this and also because I really love the history of the Victorian dishes.
I love the old English traditions it's very elegant :) I love my teas, nothing like twinnings English breakfast and biscuit's or with a traditional breakfast :)
I love how simple and straight to the point this video is while also immersing the viewer into the charming Braybrook world.
This playlist is incredible. Just incredible. Thank you for this!
I've been watching these videos every now and then. Still a delight every time. Hopefully, you make more videos like this and hosted by our lovely Victorian lady. 😊
I adore this series! Her voice is so soothing and informative.
I'm American, but I love everyday Victorian/Edwardian history, so I'm in love with these videos!
please don't stop making these videos because I am addicted to them! so good! quality videos are hard to find
ive been addicted to these videos! just cannot get enough of this
I am so in love with this videos, they make me forget the madness of the world. I wish I could travel in time to go there.
I just discovered this channel.....guess I'm not sleeping tonight. 🤷🏼♀️
I've been binging these videos for about two hours. What a lovely and entertaining woman!
I absolutely adore the uniqueness of this channel.
I consider the ritual cup of tea around 4: PM the very pinnacle of a civilized society.
A tablespoon of tea - I like my tea strong, but that's too much even for me 😂
This is so calming and relaxing to watch and listen to!! Haha this is just nice.
Please keep more coming. These videos are great.
She has so much character. The posture, the speech, the facial expression, every little detail...it makes me want to see the Victorian era in its grandeur.
Now I want to see how they clean the carpets with the used tea leaves.
absolutely love this series and this character, really wish I could try all the delicious treats she makes
I would love to see a bloopers rwal from Audley End!!
Sebastian Michaelis taught us it was a tablespoon for each cup of tea and one for the pot.
Haha jk. Nice vid
Yes!! I was freaking hoping for this comment!
Michelle Sinisterra I KNOW THAT WHAT I WAS THINKING OMG YOUR COMMENT JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
Michelle Sinisterra ...Why am I not surprised to find a Black Butler comment in a place like this...
Vibea Jayloni ikr? But it's great to know XD
Black Butler is everywhere😆
Make it however you like, you say? Alright then, here's the American way! First, you start by taking the tea leaves and throwing them away (preferably into a harbor somewhere). Next, you make a pot of coffee and drink it black. Don't forget the biscuits (and gravy).
I love these videos. I Don't know how or why I keep staying awake way too late watching cooking videos, especially since I'm about the least culinary person I know, but I do, so keep it up!
Alex Moss
This made me laugh.I love tea but a small part of me wishes I could have taken place in the boston tea party.
Alex Moss biscuits and gravy...no wonder u guys are hella obese just sayin
Deepthoughts Herenow lmao like you people aren't the second most obese place on the planet, give me a break lady
Ashleigh Layne You people?? Honey im Slavic and from Eastern Europe. Yes our women look like models almost everywhere u go. Even the homeless look good. CHEECKI BREEKI💋💋👄💋👄
Deepthoughts Herenow nah girl not by a long shot, please stop just stop✋😣
I like their tradition 😍😍...l love the way she talk..
Please more of these type of videos absolutely love them.
This was very helpful, I recently got some loose tea leaves from a relative and I had no idea how to steep them since I've never had that type of tea before. Personally, I like my tea strong with just a bit of sugar or honey and without milk. My sister is the exact opposite :D
That's lovely to hear Zim!
This is basically exactly how I make my tea, only with the addition of milk. (I prefer mine with just sugar.) Granted, I have some lovely modern conveniences like the Breville tea maker as well as custom tea bags that I can fill with my own loose leaf tea.
I don't get indecipherable drink makers how are they esier than nukeing a cup of water or making a small pot of coffee
KazukiriMishamiota Are you Japanese? What is the meaning of your name? (In Kanji too please)
This one is my most favorite. I keep watching this video for it gives me Extreme satisfaction.
This is such a soothing show. Well done!
So lovely!
....Even though I prefer my tea without milk or sugar :)
Next vid from the serie: how to make a glass of water, the Victorian way.
LOL.
This video seriously makes any of my anxieties just MELT away 😊💜. I need to figure out how to have tea time for myself haha. Love the videos, always.
I just love this series!
I like how she says "cheaper Chinese tea" when Chinese tea is fantastic. The Asians love their teas!
Back in the day Indian and Ceylon tea was always considered superior in the West. Is this true or just smart advertising.......I dont know. Personally I have never met a black tea I didn't like
STRONG or nothing! I steep black tea for double the time and stop steeping rrriiigghhtt before it gets bitter.
Oh, I see you are a woman of culture as well.
Scotch breakfast tea. Or Yorkshire tea.
theenglishteastore.com
These videos are so satisfying to me
Nowadays i am watching every videos of this channel its just awesome i really like Mrs.crocombe
Do a "Cleaning Carpets with Tea Leaves - The Victorian Way" video please
My parents still make tea like this, but you forgot to spin the teapot before you let it brew.
What spinning the teapot what
Could you maybe show us how you would clean the carpet with leftover tea leaves?
Thank you! Delightful. What's particularly sad is, I already knew this, just couldn't resist watching.
No idea how I got here but I love this
She reminds me of old time English.
This woman really makes me feel like I'm looking through time she's just so good !!!
I soooo enjoy these videos. What a great way to keep history alive.. I would love to visit Audrey End House and Meet Mrs Crocombe.
I'm from the south in the U.S. and most people only have sweetened iced tea with no milk.
American iced tea is completely different in flavour.
Would love to have Mrs Crocombe as a cook in my mansion!
I love this series!
Love your videos. I'm learning so much.
