Aunt Kitty used to make this Earl Grey cream pie for her famous tea parties. Sometimes she would finish it with orange zest on top of the whipped cream just to gild the lily.

Ingredients

3 cups milk
8 Earl Grey tea bags
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) baked pie shell
2 cups heavy cream

Directions

Heat milk over medium heat in a medium saucepan until steam forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add Earl Grey tea bags; steep 5 minutes.
Remove tea bags and whisk in sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat until mixture is thick and bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Place egg yolks into a bowl. Pour 2 cups hot tea mixture into yolks, whisking constantly. Pour egg mixture into the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; pour through a strainer into a clean bowl. Stir in butter and vanilla extract.
Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Beat heavy cream in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Top chilled pie with whipped cream.
Return pie to the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours, or until set.
