Rooibos Ice Cream

Creamy ice cream infused with rich, earthy rooibos tea and a hint of vanilla. Smooth, unique and irresistibly refreshing.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 5 Rooibos tea bags (or 5 tbsp Rooibos tea leaves)
  • 1 ¼ cup cream
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Rooibos Syrup
  • ½ cup superfine sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 4 egg whites

Recipe:

  • Heat the milk with Rooibos tea until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and discard the tea bags (or strain the leaves). Stir the cream, vanilla extract, Rooibos syrup and sugar into the milk and return to the heat. Stir in egg yolks. Stirring continuously, bring the mixture almost to boiling point. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Set aside to cool completely. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the cooled mixture. Churn in an ice-cream machine till frozen and keep in the freezer until serving. Note: If you do not have an ice-cream machine, pour the ice-cream mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer for 90 minutes, beating well with an electric beater at 30 minute intervals to prevent large crystals from forming in the ice-cream. Leave in the freezer until frozen. Makes about 3 cups ice-cream.
