*CHAI INFUSED GANACHE (ICING)

Makes about 2 cups.
- 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons KONI Aphrodisiac or Chocolate Truffle Chai Tea
- 2 cups dark chocolate (I love Callebaut), chopped
- 1/3 cup milk chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (softened)

1. Place cream (do not stir) in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add tea, remove from heat immediately, cover and allow to infuse in a warm place 15 minutes.
2. Place chocolate in a mixing bowl. Strain infused cream over the chocolate; press the tea well to extract all flavor. Whisk the ganache, warming if necessary to melt all chocolate.
3. Add the butter bit by bit and whisk thoroughly to incorporate.

* HOW TO MAKE SHAVED CHOCOLATE CURLS

The chocolate used should be cold, straight out of the refrigerator. I like premium Callebaut chocolate.

- Using a vegetable or Potato Peeler, hold the chocolate with a paper towel and pass the vegetable peeler over the narrowest side of the chocolate block. The chocolate will curl up like wood shavings. KONI Aphrodisiac Creme Brulee Author: The Tea Chick INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Tahitian or French vanilla bean
• 1 quart heavy cream
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons KONI Aphrodisiac Chai
• 15 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup milk
• Spray bottle with Vanilla Grey Goose Vodka

PREPARATION: Set the oven at 350 degrees. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. In a saucepan, combine the split vanilla bean, heavy cream, and sugar. Scald the mixture to about 190 degrees. Add the KONI Aphrodisiac Chai and take the mixture off the flame. Let sit for 5 minutes, then strain the tea through a chinoise, a conical sieve with a fine mesh.

In a stainless steel mixing bowl, combine the yolks and milk and whisk until smooth.

Temper some of the tea mixture into the cold mixture of yolk and milk. Add this tempered mixture back into the hot cream. Whisk as you’re adding. Scrape out the vanilla bean and remove the foam. Pour into the ramekins.

Place the 10 or 12 ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until set but still jiggles in the center. Remove and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

After it’s chilled, sugar the top generously. Spray with the vanilla vodka. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Let sit for 3 minutes. Garnish with fresh berries.

Makes 10-12 servings.
