  • Place ginger into a small bowl and pour enough boiling water over the top until it is just covered.
  • Let it steep for 1-2 minutes and then drain it well.
  • Zest one lemon on a cutting board and combine it with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Finely mince it with a chef's knife until the zest is incorporated into the sugar.
  • Warm the cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat, adding the blanched ginger and lemon sugar.
  • Heat just until steam starts to rise, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and allow it to steep for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the egg, the yolks, sugar, ground ginger, lemon juice and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.

  • Broil on low for 2-3 minutes to brown the top. Watch them carefully so that they don't burn.
