Any one out there got a good recipe for earl gray tea ice cream?

I just got a new really nice ice cream maker, and I was having my morning tea and, well that's how I got the idea!|||Green Tea Ice Cream





A home-made ice cream that doesn't require an ice cream maker. The light taste of green tea offsets the richness of the eggs and heavy cream. You could try this recipe with black tea for a bolder taste.


Ingredients:


3 tbs green tea leaves (whole)


1 cup heavy cream


2 cups cold milk


2 egg yolks


1 tbs cornstarch


1 cup sugar


Preparation:


In a saucepan, heat milk slowly to boiling. Then add green tea leaves and cover. Let steep (simmer) for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch. Remove milk from heat and strain out the tea leaves. Whisk in egg mixture, whisking constantly to keep the eggs from cooking in the hot milk. When mixture is starting to thicken, transfer to a larger bowl and allow to cool. Then stir in the heavy cream. Freeze mixture for at least 2 hours before serving.








or:

8 oz/227 g Valrhona Extra-Bitter chocolate, finely chopped
