Notes

To make homemade strawberry whipped cream: Add 8 ounces of heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of strawberry syrup, and 2-3 drops of pink food coloring to the whipped cream dispenser. Shake vigorously. To dispense, add the cartridge to the dispenser.

If you do not have a whipped cream dispenser, you can either put the (very cold) mixture in a glass jar, close the lid tightly, and shake vigorously until whipped, or you can use a whisk and a mixing bowl. Whisk the cream until you have the consistency you want.

You can use any soluble sweetener to sweeten the tea if you don’t have brown sugar or agave syrup.
