Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Hojicha tea leaves
- 5 large egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and Hojicha tea leaves. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove the tea leaves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours to firm up.
- Serve the Hojicha ice cream in bowls or cones and enjoy the rich, creamy flavor. Garnish with Hojicha tea leaves, if desired.
