The Nutcracker Dessert: Caramel Sponge Cake

Notes from Ravindra Verma, Pastry Chef at Ritz-Carlton New Orleans:

“Cold infusing the tea in milk for 12 hours allows for a more gentle infusion, enhancing the delicate flavor of the Nutcracker tea. Infusing the tea in boiling milk would have only taken 15 minutes, but would also destroy the flavor profile by releasing the tannins, resulting in a bitter taste that overpowers the desired complexity.”
