Courtesy of Annaliese Keller: www.malabartradingco.com These creamy custards feature the flavors of chai, a spiced tea that’s redolent with exotic spices. Ingredients 1 quart half and half (light cream)
1 tablespoon Malabar chai spice mix
1 tablespoon black tea
5 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pure Bourbon vanilla extract Instructions Combine half and half, chai spices and black tea in medium saucepan. Bring almost to boil. Remove from heat; cover and let steep 15 minutes to develop flavor. Strain mixture using fine mesh strainer. Whisk eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla together. Slowly add the half and half mixture to the egg mixture, taking care that the egg mixture is well blended and not curdling before adding all the half and half mixture. Pour mixture through fine mesh strainer and discard any solids left in strainer. Pour into 8 custard cups. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Place on baking sheet and pour enough hot water into pan to come up almost half way up the sides of custard cups. Bake at 325 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Remove from water and cool on rack. Refrigerate until cold, about 6 hours. If desired, serve with a dollop of slightly sweetened whipped cream.
