Steps:
- Pour water over tea, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain. Bring tea and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Let cool. To serve, pour 1/2 cup tea over crushed ice in 8 glasses, and then top each with 1 tablespoon cream.
Tips:
- Use loose-leaf white tea for the best flavor. If you don't have loose-leaf tea, you can use tea bags, but you may need to adjust the steeping time.
- Steep the tea for the recommended time. If you steep the tea for too long, it will become bitter.
- Sweeten the tea to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or another sweetener of your choice.
- Garnish the tea with fresh black currants or a lemon slice. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the tea chilled. You can chill the tea in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
