Boil water.
Boil water on the stovetop or in an electric kettle (set it to 208°F if yours has a temperature setting). You only need 1/4 cup so it shouldn't take long to boil. Use filtered water if possible.
Combine tea sachet and hot water in a glass container.
Cover container and steep for 5 minutes.
Discard tea sachet and add cold water.
To the 1/4 cup of hot tea, add in 1/2 cup of cold water to cool the tea down.
Lightly whip heavy cream, sugar, and salt.
In a tall cup, whip together heavy cream, sugar, salt using a handheld milk frother. It takes about a minute to thicken. You want it to be thickened but still pourable.
Pour tea into a cup with ice.
Leave room at the top for the cream froth.
Pour cream froth on top.
With the ice and the fluffy cream froth, the cream topping will sit nicely on top, creating a layered effect. Stir before drinking.
