Thai Tea Creme Brulee

Ingredients
3 egg yolks
250 ml cream
1 1/2 TBSP Chatramue Thai Tea Leaves
2 TBSP Sugar
+
2 TBSP Sugar
(for caramelizing)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven at 300F
2. Heat 1 cup of cream on low-med heat until you see the edges slightly bubble
3. Take the cream off the heat and add the tea leaves. Steep for 5 mins
4. Whisk egg yolks with sugar until sugar has dissolved (best indicator: when mixture has turned pale yellow)
5. Boil 300 ml of hot water for the water bath
6. Strain the tea leaves out of the cream. Slowly pour the cream into the egg yolk mixture to avoid scrabbling the eggs. Stir the mixture well.
7. Pour the mixture into 3 ramekins.
8. Place the ramekins in a medium roasting or cake pan to create a water bath. Fill the pan with hot water until the water level reaches half of the ramekin’s height.
9. Bake the creme brulee for 35-40 mins until there is small jiggle in the middle. The top should not be wet.
10. Let the creme brulee return to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator to rest overnight.
11. Sprinkle 1/2 TSBP of sugar on top of each creme brulee. Use a blowtorch or broil setting on the oven to caramelize the sugar
12. Take a spoon and dig in!
