Darjeeling Figs
Last week I posted this on the teaswap blog, and now that I've tried it, I wanted to share the results. Here's what I posted last week:
For those of you who can get fresh figs this time of year, this sounds like a wondeful recipe. I am hoping to try it this week and I'll be sure to report if I do!
Update: Just wanted to let you know that these were amazing. I boiled the tea loose in the pot, so I had to rinse the figs, so you might want to put the tea in a bag or something. And I definitely recommend making fresh whipped cream. :-) It'll only take a few minutes. Here are the some pics below.
Click below for the recipe:
Poach figs half-submerged in Darjeeling tea at a very low simmer for 10 or 15 minutes.
You want very little agitation of the liquid so they hold their shape.
Let them cool in that liquid, then take them out serve them with cream that's been whipped, cultured or thickened in some way. Add sugar to the cream before you whip it.
