Suggested Recipe: Mint Tea Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
1 cup milk
6 Bigelow Mint Medley herbal tea bags
3/4 cups sugar
6 large egg yolks
2 tbsp. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup half and half
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/3 cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a mixer, beat the sugar into the eggs until thickened and pale yellow. Beat in flour and salt. Set aside. Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Stir in the Bigelow Mint Medley herbal tea bags, cover, and set aside to steep for 15 minutes. Gently press down on the tea bags to make sure all of the mint flavor gets into the milk, and then remove the tea bags. Add the half and half and return to a simmer over low heat. Slowly beat the hot milk and half and half into the egg yolks and sugar. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and pour the hot tea custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. Stir the chilled custard, and then freeze in 1 or 2 batches in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is semi frozen, slowly add 1 1/3 cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and let the ice cream machine mix it in. When finished, the ice cream will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.
