Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and gather a deep dish or roasting pan for the water bath.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and Thai tea mix over medium heat. Heat until it begins to boil, then remove from heat and cover to steep for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, discarding the solids.
- In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly drizzle the strained cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking vigorously to prevent scrambling.
- Pour the custard mixture into individual ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place the ramekins in your deep dish or roasting pan, then fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Transfer the filled pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the ramekins cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Just before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar over the top of each custard and caramelize using a kitchen blowtorch.

Notes
For optimal texture, let the Thai Tea Crème Brûlée chill for at least 2 hours. Make sure to torch the sugar just before serving to maintain a crispy top layer.
