Earl Grey Creme is our best-selling black tea. And for good reason. Earl Grey is combined with cornflowers and vanilla for a rich, creamy finish that is addictive. Imagine Earl Grey combined with a vanilla cupcake. In this recipe, we use this deliciously sweet smelling tea to create a simple syrup for glazing fresh fruit. A simple process that yields complex, amazingly delicious results.
Cinnamon Spiced Candied Bacon
When writing the intro for this recipe, we considered: “Bacon. Brown Sugar. Cinnamon. That is all.” That’s because this dish doesn’t need much more of a description. Brown sugar caramelizes on the smoky bacon, and we spice it just right with strong, aromatic Vietnamese Cinnamon. We love adding this to a brunch buffet. Amazing alongside a Bloody Mary. Or simply load up a buttered biscuit. Bacon!

Pop these in muffin tins and less than 20 minutes later, you’ll have a brunch crowd beauty that’s sure to please.
