Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tea bags of earl grey
  • 4 egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
Garnish
  • Powdered sugar
  • Mint leaves
Directions:
  1. In a small pot, pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and add 2 bags of earl grey tea over medium heat. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Turn the heat off and let the tea steep for 30 minutes to an hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325F. Place 4 - 6 ounce ramekins on a large shallow baking pan.
  3. Reheat the earl grey cream mixture and then remove from heat. Pour the earl grey cream through a fine sieve into a medium sized bowl.
  4. In a mixing bowl,whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Slowly pour half of earl grey cream mixture into the mixing bowl, whisking well so that eggs don’t cook. Pour the rest of the earl grey cream into the mixing bowl, and continue to whisk until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the earl grey mixture into each of the ramekins evenly. Add boiling water to the pan until they cover about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the pan with foil, and cut slits into the top so that air can escape. Bake for about 25-30minutes until the custard is set but is still jiggly in the center.
  6. Remove the ramekins from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  7. Serve the earl grey pots de creme dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with mint.
