Thai Tea Ice Cream

http://treataweek.blogspot.it/2009/08/thai-tea-ice-cream.html?m=1
























Thai ice tea is made from strongly brewed black tea which may be supplemented with orange blossom water, food coloring, star anise, and/or crushed tamarind seed. The Black tea is sweetened and mixed with one or more of the following: condensed milkevaporated milk, whole milk or coconut milk. In the United States, Thai ice tea is generally served in a tall glass; in Thailand it is more often seen in a to-go clear plastic bag with a straw sticking out.

Ingredients
4 cups heavy cream (can substitute up to half with whole milk)
Thai tea (1/4 cup loose leaves in a tea sock or 3 teabags)
3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar
1 to 2 eggs yolks, beaten (optional)

In a large saucepan over low heat, warm cream and/or milk.
After mixture is warm add Thai tea and sugar and infuse for 20 or 30 minutes until mixture is a rich salmon color. Stir occasionally. Taste and extend infusion for stronger flavor and add additional sugar to taste.
Add egg yolks to produce a richer and less icy ice cream. Add eggs to warm mixture and stir until it thickens.
If necessary, strain mixture through a fine sieve to remove any stray tea leaves.
Pour into a glass bowl and chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Then transfer to an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
