Earl Grey

Earl Grey Chocolate Mousse

The springs creak, the rug's pounded, the metronome sings, and the bike tire is pumped. All to a delicious symphony, one of my very favorite French memories from Caro + Jeunet's masterpiece Delicatessen. I turned it on tonight when musing about this chocolate mousse, because my first chocolate mousse was made after seeing another seminal French movie, albeit a very different one, Jean de Florette.

Earl Grey Panna Cotta

I was thinking about afternoon tea when I decided to try this variation of panna cotta. If Earl Grey tea tastes wonderful with a dab of milk, why not cream with a dab of Earl Grey?

There are a couple of things I might change the next time I make this recipe (which I present in the original below - modify it in whatever way works for you!):

• Use a tea strainer or fine mesh sieve to remove the leaves, not a standard strainer.
• Use less tea. A little goes a long way.
