Chai Pudding With Almond Biscotti Dust

1. In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt.

2. Gradually stir in half-and-half until smooth. Whisk in tea.

3. Over medium heat, stir mixture constantly until it begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low. Bring to a simmer, stirring, and cook approx. 1 min.

4. Remove from heat and pour into teacups. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

5. To serve, remove plastic wrap, garnish with whipped cream and ground biscotti dust.
