Steps:
- 1. Pour the cream and milk into a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water). Whisk in 1/2 cup (100 grams) of the sugar, the tea, and the salt and stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Warm the mixture until you see steam rising from the top. Remove from the heat and strain the mixture into a bowl, pressing on the tea leaves to extract as much infused liquid as possible. Discard the tea leaves and return the infused dairy mixture to the double boiler.
- 2. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set another bowl over it. Set aside.
- 3. In a medium bowl, with a kitchen towel underneath it to prevent slipping, whisk together the egg yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar until uniform. While whisking, add a splash of the hot dairy mixture to the yolks. Continue to add the dairy mixture, whisking it in bit by bit, until you've added about half. Add the yolk mixture to the remaining dairy mixture in the double boiler. Set the heat under the double boiler to medium and cook the custard, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon and reducing the heat to medium-low as necessary, until steam begins to rise from the surface and the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Hold the spoon horizontally and run your finger through the custard. If the trail left by your finger stays separated, the custard is ready to be cooled.
- 4. Strain the custard into the bowl sitting over the prepared ice bath and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the custard has cooled. Transfer the custard to a quart-size container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight.
- 5. Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the container in which you refrigerated the custard in the freezer so you can use it to store the finished ice cream. Churn the ice cream until the texture resembles "soft serve." Transfer the ice cream to the chilled storage container and freeze until hardened to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately-it will be the consistency of gelato. The ice cream will keep, frozen, for up to 7 days.
BLACK TEA ICE CREAM
Every morning I have a big mug of black tea with a little sugar and milk in it. A huge fan of green tea ice cream, I set out to turn my morning beverage of choice into a frosty treat. This recipe is based on David Lebovitz's amazingly delicious vanilla ice cream recipe.

Steps:
- Combine milk, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan on med-high heat. Stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the milk is about to reach boiling point, but do not let the milk boil.
- Take the pan off the heat, and continue to stir for several seconds. Add three tea bags to the milk, and let them steep for as long as their directions indicate (I steeped mine for 3 minutes). Remove, squeezing excess liquid out of the bag before discarding it.
- Stir together egg yolks in a bowl, very gradually adding in the hot milk mixture so as not to cook the eggs. When both have been combined, pour the mixture back into the pan.
- Before returning to the stove, pour the heavy cream into a large bowl and have a fine mesh strainer handy for when your egg/milk mixture is done.
- Put the egg/milk mixture on the stove over medium heat, and stir frequently to prevent solids from forming on the bottom of the pan. When the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, and BEFORE it boils, pour into the cream through the strainer.
- Stir to combine, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.
