Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 chai tea bags
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and chai tea bags over medium heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and spices.
- Slowly pour the chai-infused cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the tea bags and any bits of spices.
- Divide the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Chill the creme brulee in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each creme brulee and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy topping.
- Serve and enjoy the delicious combination of creamy custard with a crunchy brulee topping!
