Steps:

• Bring cream and butter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan and stir in tea leaves. Remove from heat and let steep 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely grind chocolate in a food processor and transfer to a bowl. Pour cream through a fine-mesh sieve onto chocolate, pressing on and discarding tea leaves, then whisk until smooth. Chill ganache, covered, until firm, about 2 hours.
• Spoon level teaspoons of ganache onto a baking sheet. Put cocoa in a bowl, then dust your palms lightly with it. Roll each piece of ganache into a ball (wash your hands and redust as they become sticky). Drop several balls at a time into bowl of cocoa and turn to coat. Transfer as coated to an airtight container, separating layers with wax paper.

STAINED GLASS BARS

Steps:

• Add 1 cup boiling water to each flavor fruit gelatin mix in separate bowls; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour each flavor of gelatin into separate small shallow food storage container sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
• Sprinkle unflavored gelatine over cold water; let stand 1 min. Stir in remaining boiling water. Add condensed milk; mix well. Cool slightly.
• Cut flavored gelatin into cubes. Randomly place cubes in 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Pour milk mixture over cubes; stir to evenly distribute gelatin cubes. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm before cutting into bars.

CHOCOLATE & EARL GREY TORTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a deep, 22cm loose-bottomed tin with baking parchment, so the paper comes about 2.5cm above the sides. Stir the Earl Grey tea into the hot milk.
• Melt the chocolate, butter and a pinch of salt together in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Then stir in the ground almonds, followed by the egg yolks and milky tea, including the leaves. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then beat in the caster sugar until stiff-ish again. Fold the whites through the chocolate mix and scrape into the tin. Bake for 30-35 mins - it should still have a slight wobble. Then cool completely in the tin.
• Carefully remove from the tin and lift onto a serving plate. Dust all over with cocoa and icing sugar, then serve in slices with crème fraîche or cream.

CHOCOLATE EARL GREY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together butter, sugar, and tea. Beat in vanilla, then eggs, one at a time until incorporated. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder; fold into egg mixture until just mixed.
• Drop cookies by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

EARL GREY BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pulse the brown sugar, granulated sugar and tea in a food processor until the tea leaves are finely chopped into a fine powder and evenly dispersed. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until brown flecks appear, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the sugar-tea mixture and the maple syrup. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
• Fold the brown butter-egg mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula, then fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
• Lift the blondies out of the pan using the foil overhang; discard the foil. Cut into small squares and serve.
