Sift the almond powder and confectioners sugar, and add the cocoa powder.

On a Silpat, pipe disks with 4 centimeters in diameter and let rest for 20 minutes to form a crust.
Bake in the convection over at 150 degrees C/300 degrees F for twelve minutes.
Let cool and freeze immediately.

50g Unsalted butter
Bring the cream to a simmer. Add the tea and cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
