Name: Chai-No-Mite! Ice Cream
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup green cardamom pods (cracked); 3 teaspoons fennel seed; 5 whole cloves; 10 black peppercorns; 2 1/2 tablespoons loose black tea; 1 1/8 cups sugar; 1 pinch salt; 5 egg yolks; 3 cups whole milk; 2 pints heavy cream; 3 reusable tea/ herb bags

Servings: persons

1/4 cup green cardamom pods (cracked)
3 teaspoons fennel seed
5 whole cloves
10 black peppercorns
2 1/2 tablespoons loose black tea
1 1/8 cups sugar
1 pinch salt
5 egg yolks
3 cups whole milk
2 pints heavy cream
3 reusable tea/ herb bags

1
Crack the cardamom pods and fill one of the tea bags with them. Put the milk, cream, sugar, salt and cardamom in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
2
In teabag number 2, add fennel seed, clove and peppercorn. Crush it up a bit and add to the mixture. Put heat on low, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Bring back up to a simmer. Remove spices. Whip egg yolks and slowly add your mixture to temper the eggs. Return to pot and set temp to med-high.
3
Add tea to the last teabag and put in the mixture. Heat until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, stirring constantly to prevent scalding.
4
Take off heat, remove tea and let cool. Transfer to a fridge safe bowl. It's going to develop a skin. You can remove it, but I just whip it back in. Chill in the fridge.
5
Use your ice cream maker according to directions. It takes my maker about 22 minutes. This makes 2 batches. Serve right away for soft serve, but I think it's better to put in a container and let it firm up in the freezer.
6
Musical pairings inspired by the time period when I learned to make Chai... Hyperballad ~Bjork, Plowed ~Sponge, Crank ~Catherine Wheel, & Fake Plastic Trees ~Radiohead.
