Ingredients:

• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp loose leaf black tea
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup Cream
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp Knox gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup White chocolate, melted

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, combine milk and loose leaf black tea. Heat gently until just simmering. Remove from heat and let steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain out the tea leaves.

4. Add the softened gelatin to the hot milk mixture, stirring well until completely dissolved.

5. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the melted white chocolate until smooth and well incorporated.

6. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into the pre-baked tart shells.
