Ingredients

3/4 cup (180 ml) whole milk

2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream

1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

3 sheets gelatin

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup (15 g) loose leaf jasmine green tea

Instructions

  1. If unmolding, lightly grease the inside of the glasses with vegetable oil, wiping out most of it. If serving in glasses, leave uncoated.
  2. Soak gelatin sheets in cold water until softened, then set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, heat milk, heavy cream, and sugar until it reaches a simmer, but do not boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Squeeze softened gelatin to remove excess water, then add to the warm mixture. Stir until fully dissolved.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and loose leaf jasmine tea. Let steep for 10–15 minutes.
  6. Strain mixture through a fine sieve and pour evenly into prepared molds or glasses.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
  8. To unmold, dip the bottom of the mold in hot water for 5 seconds, run a knife gently around the edge, and invert onto a serving plate.

Notes

Swap jasmine tea with chamomile, lavender, or Earl Grey for different flavors.

Top with fruit coulis, puree, or edible flowers for color and contrast.

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.

Vegan alternative: use coconut cream and agar-agar instead of gelatin and dairy.

Keep chilled until serving for best texture.
