  • 1/3 cup Brown sugar

  1. Add loose tea directly to the milk. Place into the refrigerator to cold-steep overnight (10-12 hours). Then strain the milk and set aside.

  3. Combine cornbread mix, egg and tea-steeped milk, then pour on top of pineapple mixture.

What we used to make & serve this recipe:

Porcelain Ramekins (available at Pier 1)

Classic white porcelain ramekins are a kitchen staple for making custards or individual-sized Tropical Cornbread as you see in the photo above. And since the ones we recommend from Pier 1 are dishwasher and microwave-safe, they are a real go-to tool.
