INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Lemon Grass Ice Cream" recipe which is included in this
collection.
In a non-reactive saucepan on low heat, mix teas, cream, milk and vanilla
beans/pods and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes then take off stove
and let steep an additional 30 minutes.
Strain infused liquid and re-heat with the honey to a simmer. In a
stainless steel bowl whisk together the 10 yolks, cornstarch and 1/4 cup of
sugar. Temper the yolks by adding only a ladle of hot infused cream to the
yolks. Mix well then add tempered mixture back to the saucepan. On medium
heat, whisk constantly until it thickens then cook an additional 3 to 5
minutes. A pastry cream texture should be achieved. Transfer base to a
small hotel pan, seal with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Base can
be made 24 hours in advance.
Pre-heat a sheet tray in a 375-degree oven. Whisk the egg whites with 1
tablespoon of sugar in an upright mixer equipped with a whip attachment on
slow. In about 8 to10 minutes soft peaks will be achieved. Add the rest of
the sugar and whip at high speed for two 5 second bursts.
In a large stainless bowl, hand whisk the chilled infused cream base until
smooth. Using a spatula, gently fold in the egg whites at a 50/50 ratio by
volume. Work quickly, but do not over mix. The base needs to be one
homogenous color. Fill ramekins to the top. Drop each one from a height of
3 inches to disperse any unwanted bubbles.
Place on heated sheet tray and bake for 12 minutes. After 6 minutes the
soufflés will start rising. Check the rising soufflés to see if any edges
are getting caught on the rims of the ramekins; if necessary open the oven
door and carefully slice the sticking part with a paring knife (you won't
ruin the soufflés if you work fast -- no slamming the door Alice). The
soufflés will straighten themselves out. When the sides of the soufflé are
golden brown (the key to a soufflé not falling is the crusty, golden brown
sides), pull out of the oven and dust the tops with confectioners' sugar.
Serve immediately with a scoop of Lemon Grass Ice Cream.
For Plating: Place soufflé on plate. Cut an opening in the top of the
soufflé and put a scoop of ice cream inside.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
