Ingredients

Servings

• 2 teabag Chai tea bags
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Egg yolks
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground ginger
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground cardamom
• ¹⁄₈ teaspoon Ground cloves
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whipped cream
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and chai tea bags over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.

4. Slowly pour the chai-infused cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, and ground cloves.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
7. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.
8. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
10. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
12. Before serving, top each chai pots de creme with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
