Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a low simmer and add in the 4 tea bags. Press the tea bags gently with a small spoon or spatula to release the tea into the cream.
Remove saucepan from heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard.
Transfer the cream into a clean jar and let cool. Refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours.
Continue with the rest of the instructions above for making it with hojicha powder.
