Instructions

  1. 1In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. 2In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's just simmering. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until pale and slightly thickened. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
  3. 3Cook the custard over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil.
  4. 4Remove the custard from the heat and add the bloomed gelatine. Stir until the gelatine is completely dissolved.
  5. 5Stir in the wine, brandy, and ginger syrup. Mix well to combine.
  6. 6Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a mold. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set.
