ICE CREAM: The popular green tea ice cream is the basic ice cream recipe with a twist. Hope you'll like my version of it.

GREEN TEA ICE CREAM

 

 

 

 

1 cup each evaporated milk,  water & whipping cream

3 tbsp. green tea leaves                                               

6 cloves

3 eggs, separated                                                         

1 cup sugar

¼ tsp. salt                                                                    

1 tbsp. lemon juice + 1 tsp. grated lemon rind                                    

pinch cream of tartar

4 to 6 drops green food colouring                               

 

 

 

Add tea leaves and cloves. Steep a few minutes to develop flavour; then strain and reserve liquid.

 

Scald milk and water in a saucepan until very hot. Combine egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan. Pour in hot milk mixture in a steady stream, whisking well to combine. Cook mixture over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool thoroughly.

 

Stir in lemon juice and rind. Add food colouring, a drop at a time, stirring well after each addition, until desired colour is reached.

 

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy, beat in rest of sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition, and continue beating until stiff.  In another bowl, whip cream until soft peaks then fold into cooled milk mixture along with egg whites.

 

Spoon mixture into a metal container and freeze until mushy. Take out from freezer and beat it with an electric beater to break up ice particles. Beat until smooth' then return to freezer. Freeze until solid.
