** To make tea-infused whipped cream:
-
Add G'day Berry loose tea directly into the whipping cream. Place into the refrigerator to cold-steep overnight (10-12 hours). Before whipping, pour through a strainer to remove the loose tea.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the infused whipping cream and 1-2 teaspoons of powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
