TIPS

Makes 3 – 5 oz servings.

Do not whip eggs.

For a stronger tea flavor, add extra tea powder. (Mint, vanilla or other flavors can be added as well.)

For better results make sure water level is equal to custard level.

Custard can be baked in a large oven safe glass bowl instead of individual cups, however cooking time will be extended.

To use as a custard base for bread pudding, add extra tea powder.
