Method

Pour the double cream into a small pan with Earl Grey leaf tea. Gently bring to a simmer over a medium heat, then pour into a heatproof bowl or jug. Cover, leave to cool, then transfer to the fridge until completely cool (this is very important, otherwise the cream won’t whisk).
Pour through a sieve into a large mixing bowl to remove the tea leaves. Whip the infused cream with condensed milk to soft peaks.
De-stalk the strawberries and roughly chop. Crumble the shortbread fingers into the cream along with the strawberries and the strawberry conserve. Fold to combine.
Transfer to a 1ltr airtight container and freeze for at least 10 hrs, or overnight. Serve in waffle cones with extra shortbread crumbled on top. Will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month.
