It's not a real tasting menu unless dessert makes an appearance! Since we seem to have had quite a few Indian influences today, Ernie thought we should close out the menu with a lovely Chai Pots de Creme, from the already mentioned Indian Home Cooking.
It's a little fiddly, but a lot yummy!
Ingredients:
For the Custard:
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup half and half
1 tbs. Darjeeling or Earl Grey loose tea
1 inch piece of cinnamon stick, broken in half
6 green cardamom pods, pounded in a mortar and pestle to open
5 whole cloves
1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into chunks
4 black peppercorns
3 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
zest of one lemon
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup whipping cream
4 tsp. granulated sugar
1/8 tsp garam masala
