Instructions

In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and milk; heat on low until just simmering. Remove from heat and add Thai tea mix. Steep for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
Strain the infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve and return to low heat until it simmers again.
Slowly drizzle hot cream into the egg mixture while whisking gently to avoid curdling.
Strain the combined mixture into a measuring cup.
Divide the custard into ramekins placed in a baking pan. Fill with boiling water halfway up the sides of ramekins.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until slightly wobbly in the center. Remove from water and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
When ready to serve, sprinkle sugar evenly on top of each custard and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler until bubbly and golden.
