Ingredients
Method
- Sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms into a soft, spongy mass.
- Combine the heavy cream and whole milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm until the surface just begins to steam, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat, add the jasmine tea leaves, and steep for exactly 4 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jug, pressing the leaves gently to extract flavor.
- Whisk the honey into the warm strained cream until fully dissolved.
- Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cream mixture and whisk steadily for about 60 seconds until no lumps remain and the gelatin is fully incorporated.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Lightly brush 4 small ramekins (about 120 ml each) with a neutral oil using a folded paper towel.
- Pour the cream evenly into the prepared ramekins. Cover each with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firmly set but still slightly wobbly at the center.
- To unmold, run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin, place a chilled plate over the top, and flip in one confident motion. Shake gently if needed until the panna cotta releases.
- Drizzle with a little extra honey and serve immediately with fresh berries or a light fruit compote if you like.
Notes
Chill time is not included in the total time above - allow at least 4 hours (or overnight) in the fridge before serving. The panna cotta can be made up to 3 days ahead.
