I’m not interested in immortality but only in tea flavor. – Lu Tung, Tang dynasty poet. Given the popularity of my macarons with Earl Grey tea buttercream, I’m not alone in my love of the tea. No surprise there, because it’s delicious. (For you food history fans, you can read all about Earl Grey and his popular tea here.) What is surprising is how long it took me to think up this combo, which pairs Earl Grey tea and lemon curd, another favorite of mine, in a beautiful cake. That bit of tang – ooh, it’s just heaven.
