Cornish cream tea

Cornish cream tea is a beloved British afternoon tea tradition that hails from Cornwall. It features freshly baked scones, which are typically split in half and enjoyed while still warm. In the Cornish version, the scones are first spread with a layer of strawberry jam, followed by a generous dollop of clotted cream on top.


The clotted cream is a rich, thick cream made by slowly heating full-cream cow's milk, resulting in its unique texture and flavor. This delightful treat is typically accompanied by a pot of hot tea, providing a comforting and indulgent experience.
