- 4 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender (for topping)

Cooking Tips:

- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of the brulee for a crispy texture.
- Be careful not to overcook the brulee, as it can become too firm and lose its creamy texture.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, Earl Grey tea bags, and dried lavender over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
3. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and salt.
5. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.
7. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
8. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
12. Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over each brulee.
13. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy layer.
