Making crepes is a fun and delicious way to spark your creativity! I really love this recipe because of the infusion of ONO Creme Earl Grey. Earl Grey is typically a black tea flavored with Bergamot, a small and citrus fruit grown mainly in Calabria, Italy. ONO Creme Earl Grey is a smooth and elegant combination of classic Earl Grey and cornflower petals. With vanilla overtones and soft hints of cream, this premium blend makes a delightfully bold and uplifting tea with a satisfying finish. With the addition of Grand Marnier and cognac, this dessert is sure to please all your guests!

HOW TO PREPARE CREPES:

1. Lightly spray the crepe pan with a little oil.
2. Pour in 2 – 3 tbsp. of batter and quickly move pan around, so that batter spreads evenly, covering the whole surface with a thin layer.
3. Let cook for about 1 minute. Then, flip with a spatula, and cook other side for about 30 seconds.

There is no one way to fold your crepes.  In this recipe, I folded the crepes in fours then drizzled it with honey.
