3 musts while visiting the\u00a0royal city of London: enjoy afternoon tea with friends\u00a0at The Orangery at Kensington Palace<\/a>; always say ‘yes’ to upgrading to the unlimited champagne\u00a0<\/em>option at Kensington Palace; wear a fancy (handmade) hat whilst drinking tea at Kensington Palace – it’s only proper.<\/p>\n

London is such a vibrant and historic city with so much going on everywhere you look. You can’t help but feel royal when you are surrounded by elegant\u00a0palaces, sacred\u00a0abbeys,\u00a0royal guards with the huge bearskin caps,\u00a0and tree-lined cobblestone streets. I was leaving Buckingham Palace after just witnessing the Changing of the Guards, when I happened to run into guards leaving Kate and William’s (we are on a first name basis) home and crossing the street like it was no big deal. Is this real life?<\/p>\n

Although I was over visiting friends in London, I had quite a bit of time to myself to be a complete tourist and explore on my own. I found London to be a very easy city to get around on foot, or by local bus and tube, because of all the helpful maps they have every few blocks. I was amazed at\u00a0the beauty and character of every single building and curious about all the stories that must come from each from over the years. I’m so glad the weather ended up being beautiful and not too rainy because who wants to walk through palaces with soggy feet?<\/p>\n

Having traditional British\u00a0afternoon tea at Kensington Palace was one of the best experiences from my trip. We had lovely petite tea sandwiches, little cakes and out of this world scones, jam and clotted cream.\u00a0Seriously, how is clotted cream not illegal? That is the best thing I have ever tasted! Of course, after we finished the food, we decided to have just one more bottle of champagne because after all, it was unlimited. I wanted to recreate that laugh-filled day by making a few unique tea sandwich variations alongside a nice\u00a0cup of\u00a0tea.\u00a0Wasn’t about to attempt the clotted cream or scones – I’ll leave that to the Brit’s. Cheerio!<\/p>\n

Yield: Each recipe makes 3-4 tea sandwiches<\/p>\n

Note: Each sandwich is made with your standard white bread. Keeping the crust on the bread is totally up to you.<\/p>\n
