Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Earl Grey tea bags or 2 tsp loose leaf Earl Grey tea
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh berries or whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally.
- 3. Remove from heat, add Earl Grey tea, and let steep for 5–7 minutes depending on desired strength.
- 4. Strain out the tea and return the mixture to the saucepan. Rewarm gently if it has cooled too much.
- 5. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- 6. Pour the mixture into ramekins or serving glasses. Let cool slightly before covering and refrigerating.
- 7. Chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- 8. To serve, unmold by dipping the ramekins briefly in warm water or serve directly in the glasses. Garnish as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute part of the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the steeping time based on the strength of your Earl Grey blend longer steeping will result in a stronger tea flavor.
- Panna cotta can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
