Earl Grey Tea Creme Brulee

Earl Grey Tea Creme Brulee is a delectable dessert that combines the rich and creamy texture of creme brulee with the aromatic flavor of Earl Grey tea. This dish is perfect for tea lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat.

To make this Earl Grey Tea Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and Earl Grey tea bag over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the steeped cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup. Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
The Earl Grey Tea Creme Brulee is a luxurious dessert that is both creamy and fragrant. The custard has a silky texture that melts in your mouth, while the Earl Grey tea adds a subtle floral and citrusy note to the dish. The caramelized sugar on top provides a satisfying crunch that balances out the creaminess of the custard.
