THAI TEA PUDDING WITH LIME CARAMEL AND CANDIED CASHEWS
On the streets of Thailand, where the temperature sometimes soars over 100°, there's nothing more refreshing than a plastic bag of Thai tea! Since most of the tea shops don't have seating, the Thai people take their sweetened iced tea "to go" in a plastic bag with a straw sticking out of it. The flavors of these teas were the inspiration for this dessert. The thing that makes this dish so special is the lime in the caramel, which adds an unusual tang to the sweetness. Another bonus is the crunch and spice of the cashews that are sprinkled over the top of the pudding, adding a wonderful surprise.

Steps:
- Whisk the milk, eggs, and cornstarch together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine the half-and-half, sugar, Thai tea mix, and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, and then slowly whisk it into the egg mixture until well incorporated.
- Wash the saucepan and then return it to the stove. Pour the tea-egg mixture back into the pan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan so that the ingredients don't stick and burn, until the mixture is noticeably thicker, 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the pudding into 6 dessert cups. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve topped with the lime caramel, candied cashews, and lime whipped cream.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup water to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add tea bag and steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bag and squeeze to release excess liquid. Add all raisins to liquid. Let stand 30 minutes. Pour into strainer; reserve raisins.
- Combine sugar and 5 tablespoons water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until deep amber color, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually whisk in cream and butter. Stir over low heat until caramel is smooth. Mix in raisins, nuts and ginger. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
Tips:
- Use high-quality tea leaves: The quality of your tea leaves will greatly impact the flavor of your caramel tea. Choose loose-leaf tea over tea bags whenever possible, as loose-leaf tea provides a more robust flavor.
- Use real caramel: Don't use caramel flavoring or syrup, as these will not provide the same rich flavor as real caramel. You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought brand that you trust.
- Sweeten to taste: Caramel tea can be made as sweet or unsweetened as you like. Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more to taste.
- Add spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm and cozy flavor to caramel tea. Experiment with different spices to find your favorite combination.
- Use milk or cream: Milk or cream can help to balance out the sweetness of the caramel and create a creamy, rich texture.
- Serve hot or iced: Caramel tea can be enjoyed hot or iced. If you're serving it iced, be sure to chill it thoroughly before serving.
Conclusion:
Caramel tea is a delicious and versatile beverage that can be enjoyed hot or iced. It's perfect for a cozy afternoon or a refreshing pick-me-up. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own caramel tea at home. So next time you're looking for a new tea to try, give caramel tea a try.
