Thank you for watching! We hope you enjoy Mrs Crocombe's latest recipe, ideal for hot summer days. Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this recipe... DID PEOPLE AT AUDLEY END HOUSE REALLY DRINK WATER FROM THE ROOF? Yes they did! The water was brought down to a boiler behind the cooking range (ovens). That way it was kept nice and hot and most of what might be harmful would boil off. But we don’t recommend collecting your own roof water today. As Mrs Crocombe explains, drinking water came from standpipes which would be fresher and more pleasant to drink cold. IS THIS GINGER BEER SWEET? Certainly not by our standards today. If you decide to make this recipe, please note that when Mrs Crocombe says that it isn't sweet, it really isn't - this is very unlike a modern ginger beer. You may want to add sugar or honey for modern tastes. IS IT ALCOHOLIC? Yes, this is alcoholic, but not much. If drunk fresh, it should be under the 0.5% alcohol required for it to be labelled 'dealcoholised' in the UK. But the longer you leave it, the stronger it will get. WOULD IT BE SERVED COLD? Yes, this would generally be served as a cold drink. Though the Victorians didn't have freezers, ice was imported and so fairly easy to obtain. However, it had generally been chiselled from rivers and ice floes so would not be dropped directly into the drink. Instead, the bottles would likely be chilled in an ice bucket or a larger 'refrigerator' (a large box stuffed with ice). CAN I USE MODERN POWDERED YEAST Yes, absolutely. Use 4 teaspoons of fresh yeast, or 2 teaspoons of dried yeast. See the video description for the full recipe details. If you have any other questions, leave a comment and we'll do our our best to get back to you.
@@welcometotheinternet574 I think they are from beer purchased in pubs- you needed something in which to take the beverage away. Next time around, you take them back, and they would be washed and reused. I could be wrong, but I remember reading something like that.
@@thekingsdaughter4233 Ironically that is still how alcohol I bought in the local taverns in the "hood" in Cape Town , South Africa -well in my area. You take the empty beer bottles to purchase others, minus the bottle fee. What you know - recycling lol
I was wondering what the bottles were made of-they're pretty neat!! Also, Kathy is a pretty lucky lady to have the opportunity to work with all those antique kitchen items!!
I found this one Wikipedia. they start as a company selling Carbonated mineral water in 1783. Then they start London branch in 1792. then start produce & selling ginger ale in 1870... so if we taken by Mrs. Crocombe era (1880s), basically they already in production 10 years... that's why she said they are everywhere.
As well as Mrs Crocombe's personal history. In the behind the scenes they mention how some of her family actually donated a book with her old recipes. Included were many recipes for ginger beer, including this one from Lady Braybrooke (sp?). She also did work a few places before Lord and Lady Braybrooke
@@thebeastfromwithin3024 Kathy Hipperson is the actress in these videos. She plays the role of Avis Crocombe, who used to be a real person in history in the 1800’s
I love this series all the time, but I have to admit that it's one of my favorites to binge when I'm anxious. Something about watching Mrs. Crocombe cook and hearing her talking to us like we're there, is just really calming 🙂
From the numbers of Mrs, Crocombe videos this would hardly even touch less than half of the recipes of any English manor's cook, where the rich nobility in those time are expected to host dinners and parties to countless guest. There also the normal daily fare to the master and the to the servants. So we still have a long way to go. Of course some in those recipes might be to exotic or too 'special' for todays audience, so they have to pick those that today are still practical but also interesting.
Please Ms Crocombe! Don't leave us for too long! From the Texas in USA in a bordertown next to Mexico. We need tou more often, in these perilous times. Blessings over you.
Mrs. Crocombe: "So I'm now going to bottle it. I've got quite a few [bottles] here. You ARE supposed to send them back. But not everyone does." Also Mrs. Crocombe: Shows a collection of bottles she was supposed to have returned. #thuglife
I always thought Mr Lincoln made all the alcoholic beverages. 🤔 Side note: I wonder if Mrs. Crocombe ever had a few too many ginger beers and flat out told Mary Ann what she thought of her. 🤣
For those who like ginger ale, and are not limited to traditional methods, you can make a much cleaner tasting and better carbonated version by skipping the bread and yeast, and force carbonating in a soda keg. I also find that honey, agave or a simple syrup made from jaggery (cane sugar) taste a LOT better than white granulated sugar.
Now I was dying to watch her video! Finally she is here! Really! Really this is my kind of stress relief and completely soothing and divine feeling to watch her out!
I like your videos pretty much! Not only because of your main woman and the content of the videos but also because Mrs Crocome speaks so wonderfully clear, that I can improve my pronounciation as well!
I first learned about ginger beer from Enid Blyton's boarding school book series Malory Towers and St. Clare's where they would always be a staple of the girls' midnight feasts. I always wanted to know what exactly was in them and how they would taste!
I'm American, but my mother had a friend in England who would send me Enid Blyton's books for my birthday and Christmas every year. I loved them! I wish I knew what happened to them.
I've always wanted to see lord and lady braybrooke's dining table with a meal layed out. Every time Mrs. Crocombe makes a dish, I always want to follow her as she takes it to the table. I know it would take a lot, but it would be fun. Maybe it doesn't have to include the food, a Victorian style tablescape would be nice too.
Just for the reference, a cook would never carry a dish to the dining table, specially in a large house like Audley End. This job is done by footmen, who are being supervised by a butler. Women servants (other than the house keeper) would never be allowed to be seen by the family upstairs; their clothes would be dirtier and not fit to be seen.
I remember my mom taking about making root beer in the summer when she was a kid. During the Depression and early in the war. Thank you for another lovely video.
the ghosts at audley end must be tripping balls.. "she's dressed like she's from the 1800's but whats all this new fangled equipment she's talking to? im very confused"
When the world needed Mrs. Crocombe the most, she came back.
I need my daily poor shaming.
I think I need her everyday.
@@theunbearablejuanyep same
With beer. I mean seriously... We really got lucky today.
The hero we want and need
I want an episode of Mrs. Crocombe going to the grocer. Her grocer sounds so much better stocked than my current supermarket.
Right!?
That would be a treat!
yea i wanna see how suet and gelatine are sold/purchased
we need this comment to be on TOP!!!!!! EVERYONE LET MAKE THIS COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!
@@harrietdean3460 What? What episode? I think you replied to the wrong comment.

Bahahaha! XD
She would never spill tea. That would be quite unprofessional and would make a mess
I wonder what Mr. Lincoln did to the footman
@@rickrollrizal Challenge him to a drinking contest, because if one strong drink knocked him out...
@@rickrollrizal He probably bent him over.
Schweppes: I wonder where all our bottles have got to?
Mrs Crocombe: 😏
Thought the same 😂
Mrs. Crocombe AND ginger beer? This is what heaven must look like.
She’s back!! Rejoice

🥳 Yay!
One of the new videos I truly get excited about! So lovely and wholesome.

Would one of the ginger beer recipes for keeping longer be in the Victorian Way cook book?
"Schweppes, they are everywhere." When did Schweppes start mass production of their gingerbeer?

Then they start London branch in 1792. then start produce & selling ginger ale in 1870... so if we taken by Mrs. Crocombe era (1880s), basically they already in production 10 years... that's why she said they are everywhere.

What's the difference between a gingerbeer and a gingerale?
What a beautiful copper funnel! 😍
Great to see you here.
I love your videos!
I love how you included the bits of history along with the recipe, such as where the hot water came from. Great addition to the food.
And where ingredients came from is fascinating. Indian ginger! Imported ice!

YES, WE MISSED MRS. CROCOMBE SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
I can't imagine what would happen to us when someday Miss Crocombe run out of recipes....
I have thought about this so many times!
May we never know such a time!

Don’t worry, considering they upload every month or so, we’ll have plenty left.
She can make modern recipes but the victorian way
Ginger beer (with real ginger) is excellent for treating an upset stomach.
Rainwater from a cistern or rain barrel was much prized for hair-washing.
The days are gone when rain water was the softest and purest you could get... :-\
@@thekingsdaughter4233 :,-(
Except when making Turbot... Mrs. Crocombe had said not to use cistern nor pipe water, instead to use spring water.
@@VerneditheSnail what is spring water?
@@carolinefeoli1397 water that naturally bubbles up from underground in the same spot for an extended period of time.
Keep Calm and Crocombe On.
I just ordered off Amazon the cookbook for this series I’m so excited to be getting it!
Brown noser 😉😉😉
Mrs Crocombe had me clapping my hands like a little girl.
Me too
Same
I always wondered how to make ginger beer and then the notification pops up. How fortunate
I literally just squealed when this notification came across my screen🥰🥰🥰🥰
Me too :)
Please Ms Crocombe! Don't leave us for too long! From the Texas in USA in a bordertown next to Mexico. We need tou more often, in these perilous times. Blessings over you.
I love how she still wears the dress she made from the quilt lady braybrook gave her
I'm so happy for her comeback ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for the laugh
"oh look! this one also happens to have come from a place i used to work! :D :D :D WHAT A FUNNY C O I N C I D E N C E"
I mean, they had deposits, so she basically is renting them. If she keeps them then effectively she bought them.
@@marycanary86 😂😂😂
I love that big kettle, it's beautiful.
She's back!
I adore ginger beer.
Mrs Crocombe reminds me so much of my grandma! strict, sassy and sweet all at the same time
More drinks! Yes, we stan!
Give Mrs. Crocombe more of this episodes. I love watching her
I think I bruised a finger clicking on the video! Yay for Mrs Crocombe ^*^
Welcome back, Mrs. Crocombe! We missed you dearly!
It's so lovely to see Mrs. Crocombe again!
So nice to see Mrs. Crocombe back.

Yall all realised the Sweppes reference cuz they make ginger ale 😵 so cool
*Schweppes
They make "ginger ale", not ginger ale. Theirs is weak sauce.
@@hi-ve1cw or this could be like a foreshadowing?
Now I was dying to watch her video!
Finally she is here!
Really! Really this is my kind of stress relief and completely soothing and divine feeling to watch her out!
Eyyy I miss this!! Welcome home Mrs. Crocombe!!
Yaaaay we missed you!!!!!
The fact that I have these ingredients at my house is weird
Same lol
Not weird…delightful! ❤️
First time that's ever happened for me with one of these videos. I even bought a microplane recently for grating citrus zest!
Not weird..but perhaps you have a properly stocked pantry?
I am so happy you came back Mrs. Crocombe! 😃
"There some parts of London where the water is not nice"
*Cholera epidemic flashbacks*
The cause of cholera wasn't known then and the "not so nice" water was contaminated with feces,cholera epidemics in the making.

Omg yes the girls from st clare!
Do the girls know the beer is better if left for a year? I imagine that'd be a lit boarding school!
I still enjoy reading the Malory Towers and St Clares books, and i'm in my 40s. Great nostalgia and so entertaining 😂
Welcome back Mrs Crocombe. Most wonderful!
Love this series. Missed her so much.
The Queen is back!! All hail Mrs. Crocombe!!!
Oh how I missed this!! 🥰
Rejoice on her return 🎉
The unending sass and class of Mrs Crocombe is unmatched
Beautiful! Also beautiful new shots from Audley End =)

Ginger Beer...my favourite!! Such a delight to see you again Ma'am. Hope you are all well and staying safe xxx
Splendid ... and welcome back! Thank you to the Audley End crew for producing more of the very appreciated videos (and recipes!).
I tried it. It's simple to make and so delicious. Thank you!
Welcome back Mrs Crocombe, we've missed you so much
I'll come back later when the comments are brewed enough.
Give it about two days.
I miss this. Don't you know how all of your videos relax me.
MRS. CROCOMBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How we have missed you!
Your videos bring me so much joy during these times of change and insanity in the world. I thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.

YESSSSSSSSS!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MISSES CROCOMBE'S SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY TO COME BAACK ON SCREEN IM THRILLED AND IN LOVR!
It's been to long since i heard " for this recipe you will need..."
OMG I can't stop watching these videos: I love Mrs. Crocombe, she can make anything !
Mrs Crocombe, we missed you so much! I hope everyone at Audley End is healthy and happy and staying safe
please don't ever stop this series!!!
This was delightful as always 😃 also, can confirm -- ginger beer will totally explode if not done right 😂
And so does home made root beer. Oh boy! My kitchen ceiling still has one brown tile from the explosion lol. One day I'll buy new tiles maybe lol
An unexpected treat, thanks Mrs Crocombe🙂
Thank you for another relaxing and informative video.
I have never been more e cited to see a video pop up on my dash. Thank you!!
Was half expecting her to plug the bottles with pigeons feet.
I suspect when the ginger beer is poured into a drinking glass, then that's when the feet are added. *chefs kiss*
😂🤣😂😩😩
Lordy! This sounds to be a real treat. I am so glad I can just get ginger ale at the store and add some brandy!
She's here again at last! Must have been self-isolating all this time.
Must have been that dreaded scarlet fever outbreak.
I’m crazy about this channel and Mrs. C !
I feel like I’m in the village of yesteryear, some of my happy childhood memories visiting “living” museums.
She's back!!!!!
So happy to see Mrs Crocombe again!
What a doubly delightful surprise! Ginger beer is one of my favorite summer drinks. Might have to try this one! Good to see you, Kathy! 👏☺️❤️
glad to have Mrs. Crocombe back.
Love this channel
Oh welcome back Mrs. Crocombe! Makes my heart so happy!
When the world needed her the most she comes back.
This made my summer more delightful. Thank you Mrs. Crocombe and English Heritage.
Last time I was this early I was still a peasant. Well, I still am..but.. y'know what I mean.
Mrs Crocombe, lovely as always.
Mmmm… Ginger beer!! Thanks Mrs. Crocombe!!
