Put the honey in a large bowl, add the black tea from ❶ on top and mix well.

Add milk and fresh cream to ❷ and mix well.

To make black tea, boil water, then pour in the hot water as soon as it boils. Extract deeply. When it hardens in the freezer, the honey will sink to the bottom, so mix it well.
