The ultimate experience of exotically-spiced chai tea meets the creamy luxury of homemade vanilla ice cream. Breakfast teas are blends of robust black teas that yield a bold, full-bodied flavor that works well with creamer and sweetener -- which is why they work well in ice cream recipes.

Ingredients

  • 2 Frontier Co-op Whole Vanilla Beans

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 cups half and half

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 1/2 cups Frontier Co-op Cane Sugar

  • 4 teaspoons Frontier Co-op Irish Breakfast Black Tea

  • 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Nutmeg

  • 5 Frontier Co-op Cinnamon Sticks

  • 8 Frontier Co-op Green Cardamom Pods

  • 4 Frontier Co-op Black Peppercorns

  • 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Orange Peel Granules

  • 1/4 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Cardamom Seed Powder

  • 2 ginger root slices

  • 3 large eggs

Directions

    1. With a knife, halve the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape the seeds into a medium saucepan.

    2. Add the vanilla pods, cream, half and half, milk, sugar, tea and spices to pan. Bring mixture just to a boil, stirring occasionally, and remove pan from heat. Let mixture steep for 30 minutes.

    3. Strain steeped mixture and return to saucepan.

    4. In a bowl, slightly beat the eggs. Temper the eggs into the cream mixture, making sure to continually whisk the mixture. Cook mixture over low heat until it reaches 170 degrees.
