To make this Lavender Earl Grey Custard with Earl Grey Tea Bag Decor, you will need the following ingredients:
For the custard:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup dried lavender
- 4 Earl Grey tea bags
- 6 egg yolks
For the tea bag decor:
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, dried lavender, and Earl Grey tea bags. Heat the mixture 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. Slowly pour the lavender and Earl Grey tea mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among six 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.
While the custard is baking, make the tea bag decor. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bags. Let steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the tea bags from the sugar syrup and let cool. Once cool, use a pastry brush to brush the syrup onto the tea bags. Let dry completely.
To serve, place a tea bag decor on top of each custard. The Lavender Earl Grey Custard with Earl Grey Tea Bag Decor is now ready to enjoy!
This dish is a perfect combination of floral and bold flavors. The custard is creamy and rich, with a subtle lavender and Earl Grey tea taste. The tea bag decor adds a fun and unique touch to the dish.
