I had my first spoonful of Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream while I was in Singapore. And I fell instantly in love. So much so that I had to try it out for myself. I searched high and low for a recipe and settled on one that looked promising. So here it is, Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream. In my version, I added in some raspberries as well. I didn’t put it into the recipe, but it does go well if you want to give it a go!
Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream
Source: Mac and Cheese with some tweaks from me.
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
2 cups half and half
3/4 cup sugar
5-6 Earl Grey tea bags
5 egg yolks
Method
1. Warm the milk, half and half and sugar in the sauce pan. Mix well and remove from heat. Steep the tea bags in the sauce pan for 30 minutes, remove and rewarm the mixture in the sauce pan. Stir well to ensure that the mixture is evenly infused.
2. Whisk egg yolks together and add the milk mixture to the egg yolks slowly and while whisking it gently together.
3. Return the mixture to the sauce pan and over a low heat, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan till it thickens into a custard. (Dip a metal spoon in and out of the pan, custard is ready when there is a thin film sticking to the spoon.
4. Cool the mixture thoroughly before putting it into your ice cream maker.
5. Freeze and churn in the ice cream maker – and voila! Ice cream!
Have you ever had Earl Grey Tea Ice cream before? You should, if you haven’t. It is the most divine ice cream ever. In fact, I plan to go through my tea cabinet and make ice cream from all the teas there.
I think I’m going to be trying Ginger Tea Ice Cream next!

I love trying new ice cream flavors and this sounds so delicious and looks incredibly creamy! A chai tea ice cream would be insane and instead of adding soy milk to my tea a scoop of the ice cream would be decadent!

Sorry, I put my comment in the wrong post (although your chicken kiev looks amazing, its not ice cream).So I was saying that I've tried Darjeeling, matcha, and Earl Grey flavored ice creams. They're all nice, but EG is wonderful 'cause of that bit of citrus. Yours looks really yummy!
