This is a combo you will go back to all summer. Cool & creamy with a warm spice! Think of the possibilities… chai tea ice cream sandwiches! Chai tea milkshakes! What else can you make with this recipe?
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 chai tea bags
Directions:
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk until warm, do not let boil. Remove from heat and add the tea bags, let steep for 35-45 minutes. Discard tea bags after steeping.
- Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar together and set aside. Reheat the milk mixture and slowly incorporate 1 cup into the whisked eggs. Add the egg mixture into the spice infused milk and cream and heat until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir continuously to avoid cooking of the eggs.
- Strain mixture into a new bowl. Set this bowl inside of a larger bowl filled with ice. Let mixture cool and place in the refrigerator to chill completely.
- Once mixture is completely chilled, follow your ice cream makers’ instructions to churn. (Usually in a completely frozen bowl, churn for 15-20 minutes. Transfer soft ice cream to a freezer safe bowl and freeze for 4-6 hours or until completely frozen.)
