Filling and Assembly
5
Pour water into a clean medium saucepan to come 2" up sides and bring to a simmer. Combine 3 large egg yolks and 2 Tbsp. water in a medium heatproof bowl. Cut open 3 Earl Grey tea bags and empty into a spice mill or blender. Add ¹⁄₃ cup sugar and pulse until tea is very finely ground; add to bowl with egg yolks. Set bowl over saucepan (do not let it touch water) and reduce heat to low. Using an electric mixer (or a large whisk), beat mixture on medium-high speed until eggs are tripled in volume and pale yellow in color, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Remove bowl from heat; let cool.

Working one at a time, dip 10 crisp ladyfingers into soak, leaving just until slightly softened, 1–⏱️ 2 seconds per side. Arrange ladyfingers in an even layer in an 8x8" baking dish. Using an offset spatula, spread half of filling evenly over. Working one at a time, soak remaining 10 crisp ladyfingers and layer in baking dish over filling. Spread remaining filling over, creating swooshes and swirls as desired. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and chill tea-ramisu at least ⏱️ 4 hours.
