Instructions

1 For the Lemon Tea-Infused Custard, microwave cream and tea bags in a medium microwavable bowl on high for 4 minutes. Cover and steep for 5 minutes, then discard tea bags.
2 For the candied apricots place apricots, sugar, water and Ginger in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir in almonds, cover and set aside.
3 Beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a wire whisk until well blended. Gradually whisk in the cream mixture, and then pour into 4 microwavable ramekins or cups. Microwave on low power for 7 minutes (stop microwave for a few seconds if mix begins to rise over the surface) or until custard is just set. Stand for 5-10 minutes then serve with the candied apricots.
