A Paleo Dessert For You : Green Tea Crème Brûlée

Crème Brûlée (pronounced as krehm broo-LAY) also known as burnt cream serves as a dessert in the table after having the main dish. This consists of a rich custard base which is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can also be flavored with other varieties such as lemon, rosemary, chocolate, coffee, liqueurs, pistachio, coconut, other fruit, and for this time we will  use green tea as our dessert for the day. Topped with complementing layer of hard caramel and usually served cold, this classic french dessert gets a dose of Asian flavor so delightful to taste.
