I need to try it. I live close by.

I've tried this method and found that the microwave produces better results. It allows a golden brown skin to form on the top (don't stir!) which adds tons of flavor. With the stovetop method you miss out on this. I use a low power setting (enough to keep it at a low boil) and keep microwaving it in increments of 2-5min until it is reduced to my liking, then refrigerate in the same container.

Congratulations on the 3500 Subscribers!! 🎉🎉🎉Heaven knows you've taught me so much about tea, and I look forward to your videos. Those lemon bars look like something my dad would have devoured in a micro second!

I don't know. They look questionable to me. I think you better try another 1 or 2 more... just to make sure. And, if you could, just hand a few through the screen so I can help (yeah, "help") you taste test them. 😂🍋😂

You can't go wrong with scones. P S. You have such a beautiful 🗣️ speaking voice!

@sonyavs455 That looks like a wonderful recipe. I shall put it on my things to make. I'd be tempted to top it off with lemon buttercream. I'm slightly obsessed with buttercream since I discovered how to make it. 😁

Good morning, Sonya You are very quickly becoming a Sunday morning thing for me. I love those little cookies you’re right the lemon and the richness of the butter and the flour They are to die for. I used to make them as a dessert all the time. But I am ashamed to say I used to box from the food store. If I had known the recipe was that simple. I will definitely give them a try. Congratulations on reaching 3500 subscribers. I hope the weather’s been nice in Texas. Here in New Jersey it has definitely hit September. I love the fact that it gets into the 50s at night. What kind of tea would you serve with the lemon squares? Would it be an earl Gray or maybe a lady Gray in the summer? I like Lady Gray. It’s a little bit lighter. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and I look forward to your next video Kathy .

What is your favorite dessert that you like to see on the Afternoon Tea table? Let me know in the comments below!

Love shortbread. Never thought about making a lemon square. I wonder what else would work.

They look scrumptious. Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. Congratulations on the 3,500 subscribers. ❤

I make drop scones mostly, and I use Bisquick. (I hope this doesn’t offend). Hubster likes the fruit and nut scones, plus the ham and cheese I make for breakfast when the snow is on the ground. I prefer the chocolate chip scones. Oven to 450, one cup mix and dry mustard for ham and cheese….. about half a cup of diced ham, the same amount of diced cheddar cheese, and milk to make the mix right. Ten minutes in the oven. Enjoy with butter. Fruit and nuts are chopped almonds, raisins and dates, with a spoon of sugar in the mix before the milk. A handful of chocolate chips into a sugared mix then milk, perfect. Once we had chicken and Swiss cheese…not bad.

I buy my guests favorite Cinnamon Orange Spice tea from a shop in NYC, next day delivery. I have been gifting 6 to 8 cups worth and some paper bags to my guests for about ten years. This year, I plan to assemble a recipe booklet for my guests….hoping they will decide to host their own party. 🤔. Often, they get to take home extra foods, as well.

I have six “bone dishes”, half moon shape for probably chicken bones. I use them for lemon slices on my table, they have been crazed. I acquired two place setting for 12 silver flatware from estate sales. I clean my teapots with Polident denture cleaning tablets. I have about 35 assorted embroidered white napkins….they get bleached in hot water after each party.

I host an afternoon tea once a year. We used my pals very clean garage with rented tables and chairs….for 10 years. After the virus, we moved to the local library….the set up room with kitchen access was cheaper than the rented tables. For many years, I did all of it. I have slowly allowed guests to bring items, which does take pressure off me….as I provide all the tableware. Invitations go out 6 weeks before. This year 25. I sit from 15 to 22 the last six years. My tablecloths are unbleached muslin that I encourage my guests to decorate….then I embroider the decoration. First time guests bring nothing but a clean dry dish towel to help with the clean up. We have had theme teas: Princess Party twice, Mad Hatter, fancy hats and gloves, everyone’s birthday, Beatles character (for the year I turned 64). Apparently, this is the social event of the year for many guests. 🤩. Your channel will be mentioned to my guests as inspiration…..I would love for some of them to host!!

No scones and clotted cream?!

I’m not sure what to think about the upbeat disco-like music w/Afternoon Tea! Where in North TX have you found the best tea service? I had a fabulous tea service in Vancouver at the Fairmount Hotel 2 summers ago.

i looked at insider edition and they had an extra step to put it in the oven after it sets so it develops that toffee tasting crust! I'm gonna give that a try too

I live in the next town over from Keller, and didn’t realize this place was there. I’ll be stopping by!

Thanks for these recipies! Will try them both with my favorite, Twinings Earl Grey. I have made clotted cream the slow way, but it is just not the same with American cream and does not make very much for all the effort. I also love that you know English teas, so many people do not know the differences in cream tea, afternoon tea and high tea. I will be watching your channel in the future! 😊

I love HOT tea. I fill the pot with the hottest tap water while waiting for the kettle to boil. I also add some boiling water to the pot after the pours to keep the tea hotter and not overly strong from sitting longer. Love your channel! It is nearly impossible to get a good cup of tea anywhere in America except home 😢. All over the UK, even pubs pour a great cup!

Thank you for sharing ❤

thank you for this video, it really helped me!

Interesting video. 🫖☕️

Crochet a tea cozy!

Thank You for doing this time trial. I always come away with good information. Greatly appreciated!

Good information; I have found that a pottery (Brown Betty) tea pot holds best, especially with a cozy

I LOVE Fort Worth. Dallas scares me.

Hello Sonya, I never thought teapot would keep that much heat. When you brought out the tea cozy, it reminded me of the tea cozies I made with my aunt many years ago. I love watching your channel. You’re informative and interesting. And congratulations to making it over 3400 followers. In a blink of an eye you’ll have 1 million.

Love your videos! If you have one, the tea candle warmer is the way to go. Works like a charm with no worries about the tea temp💕🌷

Ceramic is u3sed in installation to evenly absorb & dissipate heat, so the last reading makes perfect sense. Love a tea cosy.

The best teapot is the Old Country Roses one that is sitting behind you. For over 30+ yrs, Mom's favorite china was her "OCR" and we never had tea (@ home) without it. Miss you, Mom (1940-2022).

I've airways been curious about just this! Thanks!

Surprised by silver.

Those results surprised me. I would have put money on the ceramic teapot coming first and glass second. I have a plastic teapot. No idea what it's like for making tea. I didn't buy it and have never tried it.

If you have more than one kind of teapot, do you find one keeps tea hotter than the other? How do you make sure your teapot keeps your tea hot? Let me know in the comments below!

Lovely video. A very good test of the three pots. But as you said. It is more about enjoying your time with people than the details. ❤

I enjoy watching your videos! I am a tea lover, and at 72, am learning how to do so much as to the afternoon tea! Thank you ♥️

As always, very enjoyable. Thank You.

I think afternoon tea is a really cool interest. I'm enjoying your videos.

I do want those butterfly plates, cups, and teapot

I love a cream tea. In my opinion scones are the centerpiece of afternoon tea. I would have been VERY disappointed with the toast point substitution.

I love Lucy Worsley; definitely will look for her book. Thank you ❤️ ☕️. New to your channel, very fun. 😊

Interesting.... been away from the Keller area for twelve years now. But back in the day - Cinnamon Sticks Tea Room in Keller was The place to go and Cinnamon Sticks was Quirky, Sweet and Charming. This place? I hope they do well, but.....I loved Cinnamon Sticks. Thank you for the video.

I give that place a thumbs down.

I think my aunt would have loved your channel, graciousness and objectivity. You sincerely love the topic. - I come from a fine dining background and I was disappointed you paid $70+ individually for this. Sincerely, the sandwiches weren't presentable, but rather messy and crumbly. Not cut straight. The eggs had oxidized, indicating they were prepped and sat in refrigeration overnight exposed to air. The tea? Please at least brew the tea correctly for a $70 price tag. ...sigh, and we all know about the missing scones...

Hope you’ll try the Sunday tea service at Mirador in downtown Dallas.

hmm, not only did they short you on the scones, but their website lists a 4th tea sandwich of smoked salmon. the eggs look like they were made last week.

Chocolate Secrets may have been good but couldn't compare to tea at YOUR house. You're the best!!!

This looks great 😊
