The Portuguese were the ones who introduced tea to Europe, so it is particularly fitting that it should flavor one of their more popular desserts. Use and good quality fragrant tea to make this simple and rich custard. Tea Pudding (Pudim de Cha) 1 cup (250 ml) sugar 4 eggs 8 egg yolks 2 cups (500 ml) very strong tea 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream, half-and-half, or milk Whisk together the sugar, eggs, and egg yolks just enough to blend. Stir in the tea and cream and strain through a fine sieve. Pour into 8 buttered custard cups or ramekins and place in a baking pan containing about 1 inch (3 cm) of water. Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven until a toothpick inserted halfway between the edge and the center of the pudding comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature before chilling thoroughly. Serves 8.
