Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “black tea cream” thing all over social media, and I finally decided to give it a shot. I mean, I love black tea, and I love cream, so why not combine the two, right?

Getting Started

First things first, I needed to gather my ingredients. It’s pretty simple, actually:

• Black tea bags (I used English Breakfast because that’s what I had)
• Heavy cream
• Sugar (or whatever sweetener you prefer)
• A bit of vanilla extract (optional, but I like it)

Brewing and Mixing

I started by brewing a super strong cup of black tea. I used two tea bags for one cup of water, and I let it steep for a good 5-7 minutes. I wanted that tea flavor to really punch through.

While the tea was steeping, I poured some heavy cream into a bowl. Not too much, maybe about half a cup? I added a couple of teaspoons of sugar and a tiny splash of vanilla. Then, I grabbed my hand mixer and whipped the cream until it started to thicken. It took that about a few mins.I just need it be a little foamy.

Putting It All Together

Once the tea was done steeping, I removed the tea bags and let the tea cool down for a bit. I didn’t want to melt the cream, you know? After a few minutes, I poured the slightly cooled tea into a glass, then added the Tea Cream on Top of it.

The Verdict

Honestly? It was pretty good! The bitterness of the black tea balanced out the sweetness of the cream really nicely. It’s like a fancy tea latte, but way easier to make. And it looks kinda cool, too, with the cream floating on top.

I’d definitely make this again. Maybe next time I’ll try it with different types of tea, or add some spices like cinnamon or cardamom. The possibilities are endless!
