Honey Lemon Black Tea with Oat Cream

Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups (410 ml)420 gBrewed black teabrewed strong and hot
  • ⅓ cup90 gWatercold

  • 1 date24 gMedjool dates, pittedchopped

Steps

  1. Make the oat cream first: blend the oats, dates and cold water for about 40 seconds until thick and smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a small pot, pressing lightly, and discard the pulp.
  2. Brew the black tea strong and keep it hot.
  3. Warm the oat cream over low heat, whisking constantly, until just steaming and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; do not let it boil. Whisk vigorously off the heat until frothy.
  4. Divide the hot black tea between two mugs and stir half of the honey and half of the lemon juice into each.
  5. Spoon half of the oat cream gently over the tea in each mug so it floats as a thick cap.
  6. Sprinkle half of the lemon zest over each mug and serve hot.
