Houji-cha flavored Panna Cotta!

I made a Houji-cha flavored Panna Cotta! The hint of Houji-cha was perfectly matched with a creamy panna cotta. It's very easy and good to served with after both Japanese and Italian food!

The Houji-cha flavored sweets are very popular in Japan now!!

Ingredients (serving for 4)

1 1/3 cup milk

0.17 ounce envelope unflavored gelatin (2 tablespoons of water)

3/4 cup heavy cream

1.05 ounce white suger

0.7 ounce loose Houji-cha tea leaves

Directions (cook time-10min.)

1. soak gelatin into 2 tablespoons of water.

2. Pour milk into a pot and heat with low flame

3. Pour Houji-cha tea and suger into warmed milk

4. Let tea steep 3-5 minutes depending on desired strength (keep very low flame)

5. Remove from heat and use a strainer to take tea leaves out

6. Microwave the gelatin for 10 second

7. Pour a heavy cream and gelatin into the bowl and stir together with the flavored milk well

8. Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature, when cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 1/2 Hr !

This keeps well for several days in the refrigerator.

Enjoy your delicious Japanese style Panna Cotta^^/
