There are many different ways to consume Manuka honey in our daily lives other than having it as it is. Through diverse ways and easy instructions, we can all maintain healthy well-being through delicious recipes.
MANUKA HONEY BRULEE
Ingredients:
- 6 medium free-range egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or seeds of 1 vanilla bean pod
- 3 tablespoons manuka honey
- 1 orange zest, finely grated
- 600 ml cream
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar for grilling
How to Cook:
- Preheat the oven to 150°C. In a mixing bowl whisk egg yolks, vanilla, honey, and orange zest together until it goes smooth.
- Slowly pour cream into egg mixture, and continue to whisk. Pour custard into a jug, then pour the custard evenly into six dishes from the jug.
- Place the dishes in a large baking dish. Pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Carefully transfer to oven and cook for 50–60 minutes until the brulees are just set, with a slight wobble in the middle.
- Allow to cool slightly, then place in the fridge for at least a few hours or in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- When ready to serve, evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over each brulee. Use a blow torch to caramelise the sugar; the caramel will harden after about 1 minute.
