What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 °F (150 °C).
In a saucepan, heat cream over medium heat until steaming. Remove from heat; stir in tea leaves and let steep for 5 min or until cream is well flavoured. Strain cream into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding tea leaves (do not press leaves). Let cool to room temperature.
In a bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract until blended; whisk into cream. Pour into eight 4-oz (125 mL) ramekins or custard cups. Place them in a large roasting pan; fill pan with enough boiling water to come three-quarters up sides of ramekins. Bake for about 40 min or until edges are firm and centres are still jiggly. Remove from water and let cool on a rack.
Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until chilled or for up to 2 days. Serve in ramekins topped with orange segments and shaved white chocolate.
Tips
Use a good quality loose-leaf green tea, such as Sencha, for the best flavour.
For the Adventurous: Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) mint tea with green tea.

Not a tip but a question. Am I using a total of 4 eggs or am I to separate 2 eggs?
