How to Make a British Cup of Tea

By popular demand, I show you how to make a proper cup of tea the BRITISH way! Apologies to all of you in the UK as this will be stating the obvious - but I'd love to hear if you do it differently!

It's just a short 5 minute video tonight!

Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
In 'Sundays at the Chateau' Stephanie shares French chateau life, history and culture with you ❤️

A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 400 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only our lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

As a British I can confirm that this is how British makes tea, great tutorial!

I’ve read some of the comments where people are dissatisfied with the length of this video. Makes me sad. Stephanie has been very clear about her Sunday schedule. She has always been consistent, and announces when changes will occur. Things are nuts around the world right now, if she had a normal Sunday video, she would have been raked through the coals for one thin or another. Maybe, if everyone just took the time to have a comforting cup of tea, the day would be brighter. Peace and love. 💃🌻❤️👍🏻🥰

I am British and this is true but I recommend putting sugar in at the start with the tea bag because the sugar will disolve propely.

Thank you Stephanie! As a mostly-coffee-drinking, but-sometimes-tea-drinking American, I enjoy a good cup of tea but have always wondered if I was getting the most out of it. I so appreciate this video and looking forward to your afternoon tea vlog! ❤

I’ve been making my tea the British way my whole life and I had no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️🫖☕️🥛
Thank you this was a fun video! 😃 Can’t wait to see the next proper tea video! 👌

These are the videos I love in between the diaries! 🫖🤍 Thank you Stephanie for clarifying this! Thanks Dan for filming 😍

Thank you for this! I drink my tea the same way. And much prefer it made single mug then a pot. I didn't mind the short video at all and in fact am happy to hear you talking about sewing and doing little projects again. Reminds me of the beginning days of your YouTube channel! Plus and more importantly it means you are finding balance and time to do what you want to do besides editing! Thank you for sharing this with us. Perhaps those who don't like the short time frame need to be reminded that it didn't take you only 6 minutes or so to film, edit and upload it, but much longer! Cheers to you Lalanders!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us. I love Yorkshire tea! Was in Yorkshire for a couple of years ago and after that I used to by this massive amount of teabags so I never run out of tea ☕️ Just before Brexit I bought 1100 teabags!

[blakehahn-atlantaga]

Great as always Stephanie! Good to know I’ve been doing it correctly!

I live in TN but raised in Western New York, South of Buffalo. We also made our tea that way as you Brits do. Boiling water over the tea bag. We also preheated the teapot if more than a cup was wanted.
