“I don’t feel very much like Pooh today," said Pooh.
"There there," said Piglet. "I’ll bring you tea and honey until you do.”
This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Tea and Honey Pots de Crème. We have made a few different versions of this dessert, which is a baked custard flavoured in different ways.
This particular version of pots de crème is flavoured with tea and honey, as its name suggests. The recipe called for rose tea; I didn't have that, so I used passionfruit and hibiscus tea instead. The pots de crème are also flavoured with a little rosewater, which blended just fine with the slightly floral taste of the passionfruit and hibiscus tea.
Left to my own devices, I might never have made this recipe, but I am glad that I did, because I enjoyed this dessert very much. I made two, just for me, from a quarter of the recipe.

I adore honey in desserts so I suspect I would love this! :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good use of honey to me! Our neighbor just purchased 8 new bee hives so I will have a good source of it soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed it! The flavours do sound lovely - I may follow your lead and make a smaller amount.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I might have to use my hibiscus tea in these. Or else make a caramel version!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you loved this one. Love the Pooh quotes.
ReplyDeletea perfect dessert to go in a fancy teacup!
