Everyone has their own preferred strength of tea - there are lots of memes showing multiple cups of tea in the style of a paint colour chart, asking 'how do you take yours?'. A lot of people eat plain digestive biscuit with cheese (obviously not dunking them).

Hi guys loving the video's. One thing I notice when some Americns attempt to make tea is they don't use "Boiling" water. Hot water that has boiled isn't going to work properly to infuse the tea. The water needs to be brought to a rolling boil and then imediatel y added too the tea bag that's in your mug. Using just hot water that has gone off the boil will result in an insipid flavourless liquid.

Tea= steep it as long as you want to taste Milk=add as much or as little to taste Sugar=add as much or as little to taste, the average is approx 2 teaspoons❤

There is no VAT on cakes and biscuits here, unless the biscuit has chocolate on it, then can be taxed, A company that makes Jaffa Cakes had to go to court and prove that Jaffa Cakes are not biscuits and didn't need tax, they showed that a cake starts soft and gets hard when it goes stale, but a biscuit starts hard and goes soft when its stale. They won the case, that's how you can tell the difference.

Fig rolls ,most definitely fit in the biscuit category in the UK

Hobknobs are the SAS of biscuits,they soak up a lot of tea.My favourit at the moment are the Biscoff malted biscuits and are sweet and you have to be quick to dunk them.Digestives can be used as a biscuit base for cheesecake with enough meted butter to cement the biscuit crumbs together,then in the fridge for a couple of hours ,then add the cheesecake mix,then the fruit topping. Ilike my Yorkshire tea strong,so the spoon stands up on its own

Coffee and biscuits also work, expecially ginger nuts. 😮

Lidl liddle You can crush plain digestives for a biscuit base in recipes To be truly british, its Dunking, not dipping ;) I would dunk most of those in tea, though i drink instant coffee and do the same.

Cookies here (Ireland & UK) cookies are what you would call choc chip.. they are a type of biscuit like a digestive or a shortbread or custard cream. Though, like most varieties here, there a many different takes on how they are made

How long to dunk makes a big difference, and it's really a matter of experience with your preferred biscuit and drink how long is right.

Would love you to try Rich tea biscuits or "One dips" as they are known. The second they touch tea they start to loose structural integrity and the game is trying to get them to your mouth before they disintegrate into your brew. You will try to fish it out with your fingers but it won't work. Keep your tea spoon at the ready. 😂

So this is turning out to be one of my favourite things to watch… American people dunking British biscuits into British tea… I never knew I needed this in my life!! You’ve both become such naturals! Much love from across the pond Edit: I don’t mean to sound patronising by saying you’ve become naturals at it… what I mean by that is, I’ve seen some people dunk their biscuits for way too long, and it breaks off and falls into the tea. You guys seem to just know the right amount of time to keep it in there before disaster happens!!

Ferrero is a manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products, and the second biggest chocolate producer and confectionery company in the world. It's a private company owned by the Ferrero family, it was founded on 14 May 1946 in Alba, Piedmont, Italy, by Pietro Ferrero, a confectioner and small-time pastry maker who laid the groundwork for Nutella.

In my opinion, not every biscuit needs to be dunked. some just need to be eaten and accompanied with a slurp of tea. There is an art to dunking, knowing how long you dunk for before the biscuit drops off into your brew! We don't generally have afternoon tea every day, but a cuppa and biscuits mid morning , late afternoon or late evening is popular. Lidl pronounced like liddle, a supermarket similar to Aldi. I'm impressed with the size of your tea mugs, good choice!

Digestive biscuits are lovely with a wee bit of butter on them mmmm with a nice cup of tea very nice

A plain digestive is a very versatile biscuit. You can eat it plain with you tea I like to spread it with jam any flavour the choice is yours, also they are great with a butter and a really sharp cheese tge sweetness of the biscuit and the sharpness of the cheese is just on point. And they make great bases for cheese cakes.

Brit: Wouldn't touch some of those with a barge-pole. Chocolate coated custard creams? Yuk!

Ah, but Colin, "not just any Chocolate coated custard creams, but M&S Chocolate coated custard creams". 😁

like I have said before ... Biscuit translates to "twice baked", hence why they are dry and need to be dunked to get the best out of them.

What a great selection of biscuits. Glad you dunked them all. Yes I'm British

This is good, I'm sitting having a cuppa with you, feels like a regular day round the table

Belmont are an Aldi brand...currently a 400g pack costs £0.55p...McVities Digestives, same size pack (400g) is £1.90p not far off four times the price. Probably get what you pay for, I guess...but to be fair, we get the Belmont Milk Chocolate Digestives regularly and I like those, probably got used to them. They're 77p for 300 grams whereas the McVities version are £1.90p for 266 grams.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but McVities shrink-flation has cut them to 360g for plain for the same price!

@@scottneil1187 how come the ingredients are different?

Tea and biscuits are dangerous. If you eat biscuits on their own probably 3 or 4 but if your dunking those biscuits disappear quick😂

Bet your homemade biscuits/cookies or bisgedi as we call them here in Cymru/Wales are delicious Linzi. Once you’ve had home baked,shop bought can’t compete.

I love biscuits with coffee, especially the chocolate biscuits. Especially dark chocolate

Most biscuits taste much better in coffee imho
