Tea is one of the oldest ingredients used in the kitchen, and is still
one of the latest ingredients at the same time! Chef Peter Kuruvita will
elaborate on how Dilmah brings this versatile, helpful and flavourful
ingredient into the modern kitchen. In particular, during the Dilmah Tea
Gastronomy presentation, Orange flavoured Cupcakes infused with Earl Grey with
honey tea, topped with an Earl grey and honey tea frosting will be served to
every delegate at the congress.
Full Recipe:
NATURAL EARL GREY WITH
HONEY orange
cupcake
SERVINGS:
Makes 20
INGREDIENTS
429 grams
(2 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
3
teaspoons baking powder
265 grams
(1 1/4 cups) caster (superfine) sugar
1/2
teaspoon salt
375
milliliters (1 1/2 cups) of milk
125
milliliters vegetable oil
125 grams
butter
2
tablespoons Greek yogurt (can substitute with sour cream)
1
teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large
eggs
Zest of 1
large orange (1/2 for batter, 1/2 for frosting)
6 NATURAL EARL GREY WITH HONEY tea bags
1-2 drops purple food gel
2
tablespoons poppy seeds
1 cup
orange marmalade
2
teaspoons orange blossom water (can be purchased a middle eastern supermarkets)
For the
frosting:
1 Batch
of Buttercream frosting
4-5 drops
orange food gel
INSTRUCTIONS
Place your milk in a microwave
safe jug and microwave for 1-2 min (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t spill
over). Place your tea bags in it and push them down using a fork or spoon. Let
them soak in the milk for 10 min and take them out. Set the milk aside to cool
down to room temp.
Preheat your oven to 180C (356F)
or 160C (320F) for a fan forced oven
In the bowl of a stand mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the dry ingredients. Turn mixer on
low and allow it to mix for a couple minutes. Add the softened butter and let
it mix until it resembles a fine sand like texture.
Next combine all milk, eggs,
yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a large jug and whisk well.
Add wet ingredients to dry
ingredients in a slow and steady stream until no dry ingredients are visible.
Scrape down, add your purple food dye and fold in by hand or mix for another 20
seconds with your stand mixer.
Fill each paper 3/4 of the way
(using an ice cream scoop to transfer the batter into the cupcake liners makes
this a quick and easy process otherwise you can use two tablespoons). Bake for
20-25 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow them to cool
completely on a cooling rack before frosting.
NATURAL EARL GREY WITH
HONEY Buttercream
INGREDIENTS
1
1/2 cups (335 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tbsp (8g) NATURAL
EARL GREY WITH HONEY
1/2 cup minus
1 tbsp (7 tbsp / 100ml) egg whites
1 cup minus
1 tbsp (187g) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
bean paste
pinch
of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Place 3/4 cup of the butter into a saucepan
with the loose tea. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts, then reduce
the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the tea
steep for 5 minutes more. Strain the butter through a fine-mesh sieve set over
a bowl and refrigerate it until it reaches the same consistency as softened
butter (20-30 minutes). Small bits of tea may remain in the butter.
Place the egg whites and sugar in the bowl of
a stand mixer. Whisk them together by hand to combine. Fill a medium saucepan
with a few inches of water and place it over medium-high heat. Place the mixer
bowl on top of the saucepan to create a double boiler. The bottom of the bowl
should not touch the water. Whisking intermittently, heat the egg mixture until
it registers 160 F (70 C) on a candy thermometer or is hot to the touch.
Carefully fit the mixer bowl onto the stand mixer.
With the whisk attachment, beat the egg white
mixture on high speed for 8-10 minutes, until it holds medium-stiff peaks. When
done, the outside of the mixer bowl should return to room temperature and no
residual heat should be escaping from the meringue out of the top of the bowl.
Stop the mixer and swap out the whisk attachment for the paddle.
With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla
and salt. Next add the tea-infused butter and remaining 3/4 cup of butter a
couple tablespoons at a time. Once incorporated, turn the mixer onto
medium-high and beat until the buttercream is silky smooth (3-5 minutes).

Worldchefs has decided today to showcase a very
special message to its community.
Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2018 is around the
corner and we all know this by now! Some
people have already bought their tickets, some people are going to buy their
tickets and some people wish so hard to come at Congress & Expo 2018, but
can't due to many reasons.
For
that special reasons, Worldchefs has decided to move forward and help Adrian
Vigus-Brown to raise enough money for him to come at the Worldchefs Congress
& Expo 2018 in Malaysia!
The
Young Chefs are truly the ones to make the world a nicer place to discover new
tastes, new dishes and new ways to cook the right product at the right time!
They are the ones who are feeding the planet and who are going to feed our
children!

“Through family
financial circumstances as well as situations beyond my control as the Young
Chefs Ambassador for Africa and Middle East I am not able to personally or
through affiliation finance myself to the upcoming Bill Gallagher Young Chefs
Forum at the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2018.
This event brings together more than 100 member

and enjoy about culinary trends and innovations.
The forum is an exciting program design for young
chefs. It encompass both a learning experience and the opportunity to create
friendship with fellow colleagues from around the world at varying and vast
levels.
The Forum is a great place to start or contribute to
an already successful career. It contributes to young chefs’ success and it
will open up great culinary world for ambitious youngsters who seek to thrive
in the culinary community. As well as provide a global mentorship and skills
sharing programme, it is my duty to not only nurture this, but to stimulate and
contribute to the growth of the chef industry and more importantly to inspire
young chefs to develop to their full potential.
This forum is paramount to the global development of
young chefs as well as it has the opportunity to bring global trends, ideas and
friendships back to South Africa from the congress through the connection of
the South African Young Chefs Club (past chairman) my attendance is vital and
important.
However, this year I am unable to finance myself. Help
me get there by selecting the 'donate' button next to the barometer.“
