Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ⅓ cups milk (preferably 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons loose leaf Earl Grey tea (or 2 teabags)
  • 1 whole vanilla bean
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Infuse the milk: Combine milk, split vanilla bean and seeds, and Earl Grey tea in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain to remove solids.
  2. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a kettle with boiling water.
  3. Mix custard base: In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in infused milk, heavy cream, and sea salt until combined.
  4. Bake: Pour mixture into ramekins placed in a baking tray. Fill tray with boiling water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 25–30 minutes until mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  5. Cool: Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least three hours.
  6. Caramelize: Just before serving, sprinkle sugar on top of each custard and use a kitchen torch or broiler to caramelize until golden brown.
