Cream tea
A cream tea is a traditional British treat that typically includes freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and jam. It's commonly enjoyed in the afternoon, often accompanied by a hot cup of tea. The scones are usually split open, spread with cream and jam, creating a rich, sweet, and indulgent combination. Originating from the West Country of England, cream teas are a popular way to relax and enjoy a light yet satisfying snack, highlighting the simple pleasure of combining fresh baked goods with rich toppings and a warm beverage.
