Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 2 teaspoons loose-leaf jasmine green tea or 1-2 tea bags
- 1 cup hot water
- Ice cubes, as needed
Salted Cream Topping
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Boil water and steep jasmine green tea leaves or tea bags for 3–5 minutes to extract the delicate flavors. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves carefully, then set the tea aside to cool completely.
- Prepare Salted Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream together with a pinch of sea salt and sugar until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy salted cream topping.
- Chill Serving Glass: If desired, place your serving glass in the freezer or refrigerator to chill, which will help maintain the beverage’s refreshing temperature.
- Assemble the Drink: Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes, then pour the cooled jasmine green tea over the ice, ensuring it reaches near the top of the glass.
- Add Salted Cream: Gently spoon the whipped salted cream onto the surface of the tea so it floats, creating a layered, visually appealing drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt or a dash of green tea powder on top for an extra touch of flavor and decoration. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
Notes
- Adjust sugar quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- To enhance the flavor, use high-quality loose-leaf jasmine green tea.
- Chilling the glass beforehand helps keep the drink cold for longer.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut cream.
- Use fresh sea salt for the best clean salty flavor without overpowering the tea.
