Moroccan Mint Tea Ice Cream

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Moroccan mint tea leaves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the Moroccan mint tea leaves. Let the mixture steep for 10 minutes to infuse the flavors of the tea.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the tea leaves to extract all the liquid. Discard the tea leaves.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  5. Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
