Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tbsp gelatin powder over 3 tbsp cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 6 lightly crushed cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick, and 3 thin slices fresh ginger. Heat over medium heat until just simmering and sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and add 2 black tea bags. Cover and steep for 10 minutes to infuse the chai flavors.
  4. Step 4: Remove tea bags, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and ginger slices. Reheat mixture gently until warm, then stir in the bloomed gelatin and 1 tsp vanilla extract, stirring until gelatin is fully dissolved.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 2 tbsp honey, then pour the mixture into 4 ramekins or glasses. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until set.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, drizzle each panna cotta with additional honey for a glossy finish and extra sweetness.
