Hibiscus Panna Cotta
- 6 hibiscus tea bags, such as The Republic of Tea
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high heat.
- Turn off the heat and add the tea bags.
- Allow the tea to sit for 10 minutes.
- Place the milk in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over.
- Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
- Stir over medium heat just until the gelatin dissolves but the milk does not boil, about 5 minutes.
- Place a sieve over the saucepan and strain the tea mixture into the milk mixture, pressing lightly on the tea bags to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Discard the tea bags.
- Stir in the cream, sugar, vanilla and salt.
- Stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
- Pour into 6 martini glasses or 5-ounce ramekins.
