Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 Earl Grey tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose-leaf Earl Grey tea
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan
  • 6 Ramekins (4-ounce)
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Fine-mesh sieve

Method
 

  1. Pour the cold water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom until it becomes jelly-like.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Add the Earl Grey tea bags or loose-leaf tea.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Remove from heat once small bubbles form at the edges.
  4. Cover the saucepan and let the tea steep for 15-20 minutes to infuse the cream with flavor.
  5. Remove tea bags or strain the cream through a fine-mesh sieve. Return the cream to the saucepan. Add the bloomed gelatin and whisk until it is completely dissolved.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Pour the mixture into six 4-ounce ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
