How to Make Almond Red Tea Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat 2 cups almond milk over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
  3. Remove from heat and add 2-3 red tea bags. Steep for 4-5 minutes, or until desired tea strength is reached. Remove tea bags.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 large egg whites, ½ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually whisk the hot red tea almond milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved.
  6. If any lumps appear, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
  7. Stir in the zest of 1 orange.
  8. Divide the custard mixture evenly among 6 ramekins or teacups. Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish.
  9. Carefully pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath).
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  13. Garnish with slivered almonds before serving and enjoy!
