Peppermint and Licorice Ice Cream

Written by Mint Choc Chip on December 9, 2016. Posted in Ice cream, Recipes

This recipe shows you how to make a Peppermint and Licorice Ice Cream.  It is pretty simple to make but allow yourself a bit of time to let the flavours infuse for a good flavour.  This recipe uses Pukka Peppermint and Licorice tea bags which are infused in the milk and cream.  It’s a subtle recipe and quite grown up.  The tea is made with peppermint leaf and licorice root.  It’s delicious to drink but makes a rather tasty and delicate ice cream too.  I’m now on a mission to try out lots of other tea flavoured ice creams…next stop Earl Grey.  I will let you know!  Hope you like this one dear LoveIceCreamers x

Method

1. Put the milk, cream, sugar and tea bags into a saucepan.
2. Slowly bring to simmering point, stirring to help dissolve the sugar.
3. Meanwhile, separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks for 1-2 minutes so they become paler in colour.
4. Once the cream mixture has reached simmering point, add it to the egg yolks whisking all the time.
5. Put the mixture back on a very gentle heat. Leave the tea bags in. Cook until the custard thickens, stirring all the time for about 10-15 minutes. The custard should coat the back of a spoon when it is ready.
6. Cover with cling film and then chill until completely cold.
7. Strain through a sieve and then add to your turning ice cream maker. Churn for about 20 mins then pop in the freezer to firm up.
