How to Use Cinnamon Cream in Tea

Afternoon tea service is a tradition in many places in the world.

Served hot or cold, tea is one of the most popular drinks on the planet. Varieties of tea include green, black, oolong and white. Serving these teas with cream, particularly cream spiced with cinnamon, adds a kick of flavor. In certain locations in England, traditional tea service has included cream for many years, particularly when served with scones in the afternoon as a snack. There are many options for delicious tea beverages that include cinnamon cream.

Things You'll Need

• 5 tea bags
• Teapot
• 1/4 pt. whipping cream
• 1 tsp. cinnamon (powdered)
• 1 tsp. confectioners sugar
• 1 tbsp. dark rum (optional)

Instructions

1. Brew the tea in a teapot by boiling water and placing five bags in the hot water to steep. Choose a plain tea so the cinnamon cream is not overpowering, such as black or green tea. Make the cinnamon cream while the tea is steeping.

2. Whisk together 1/4 pt. whipping cream, 1 tsp. powdered cinnamon and 1 tsp. confectioners sugar. Add 1 tbsp. dark rum to the mixture, if you prefer.

3. Pour tea into tea cups or over ice to make iced tea. Add a dollop of the cinnamon cream to the top of the glass. Serve the tea.
