Ingredients (serves 4):
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon bergamot oil
Cooking Tips:
- Use high-quality Earl Grey tea bags for the best flavor.
- Infuse the cream with the tea bags for at least 30 minutes to ensure maximum flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the brulee, as it can become too firm and lose its creamy texture.
Cooking Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and Earl Grey tea bags over medium heat until it comes to a simmer.
3. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the tea bags and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
6. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
7. Stir in the bergamot oil.
8. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
9. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the brulee is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
12. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
13. Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of each brulee and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
