Dreaming of sipping tea and gossiping with the Queen? While we can’t promise a dance with a duke, we can offer the next best thing: a delectable spread of Bridgerton-inspired treats that will transport you straight to the opulent world of Lady Whistledown’s ton. Prepare your finest china, don your most elegant gloves, and let’s indulge in a royal feast fit for a duchess!
No Bridgerton tea party would be complete without a touch of Earl Grey, and this ethereal whipped cream delivers the perfect hint of bergamot alongside a cloud-like texture that will have you swooning.
Here’s how to recreate this elegant treat:
Infuse the Cream: In a saucepan, gently heat 2 1/2 cups of double cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 5 Earl Grey tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor.
Whip to Perfection: Once the cream has cooled completely, remove the tea bags and add 3 tablespoons of sugar. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
Craft Your Edible Teacups (Optional): For an extra touch of Bridgerton flair, create edible teacups and saucers using puff pastry. Simply shape foil into a cup shape and wrap with puff pastry. Bake at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown.
