Best Lemon Tea Ice Cream Recipes

LEMON VERBENA AND EARL GREY TEA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Make your Earl Grey tea, with loose tea or tea bags, if you must! Then add the dried lemon verbena, or 10 large fresh lemon verbena leaves, stir well and allow to infuse for 10 minutes.
• Put the freshly brewed Earl Grey tea, single cream and milk into a pan and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they thicken and pale. Remove the milk mixture from the heat, then whisk it into the egg mix.
• Put the whole lot back onto a gentle heat until it thickens, stirring very regularly. On no account should you let this boil, otherwise the eggs will scramble. Set it aside to cool with a dampened circle of greaseproof paper on the top, to stop a skin forming.
• When cool, either churn in an ice cream maker, adding the whipping cream towards the end of churning, or pour into a freezer-proof container, then cover it and freeze until half frozen. At this point, scoop it into a bowl, then whisk up the whipping cream and fold it into the ice cream. Put it back into the freezer until it is of ice cream consistency. You can repeat this as often as you can be bothered, to reduce the amount of crystals in the finished ice cream.
• Remove from the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving. Store for up to 3 months in the freezer.

JASMINE TEA SOUFFLE WITH LEMON GRASS ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a non-reactive saucepan on low heat, mix teas, cream, milk and vanilla beans/pods and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes then take off stove and let steep an additional 30 minutes. Strain infused liquid and re-heat with the honey to a simmer. In a stainless steel bowl whisk together the 10 yolks, cornstarch and 1/4 cup of sugar. Temper the yolks by adding only a ladle of hot infused cream to the yolks. Mix well then add tempered mixture back to the saucepan. On medium heat, whisk constantly until it thickens then cook an additional 3 to 5 minutes. A pastry cream texture should be achieved. Transfer base to a baking dish, seal with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator. Base can be made 24 hours in advance.
• Pre-heat a sheet tray in a 375-degree oven. Whisk the egg whites with 1-tablespoon of sugar in an upright mixer equipped with a whip attachment on slow. In about 8 to10 minutes soft peaks will be achieved. Add the rest of the sugar and whip at high speed for two 5 second bursts. In a large stainless bowl, hand whisk the chilled infused cream base until smooth. Using a spatula, gently fold in the egg whites. Work quickly, but do not over mix. The base needs to be one homogenous color. Fill ramekins to the top. Drop each one from a height of 3 inches onto the counter to disperse any unwanted bubbles. Place on heated sheet tray and bake for 12 minutes. After 6 minutes the souffles will start rising. Check the rising souffles to see if any edges are getting caught on the rims of the ramekins; if necessary open the oven door and carefully slice the sticking part with a paring knife (you won't ruin the souffles if you work fast). The souffles will straighten themselves out. When the sides of the souffle are golden brown (the key to a souffle not falling is the crusty, golden brown sides), pull out of the oven and dust the tops with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately with a scoop of lemon grass ice cream.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, simmer milk with lemon grass and reduce by 1/3 percent. If there's enough time let the lemon grass steep in the milk overnight. Strain out lemon grass and heat with sugar and vanilla bean/pod. Bring to scalding. Hand whisk the yolks in a stainless steel bowl. Temper the yolks by adding only a ladle of hot milk to the yolks. Mix well then add tempered yolks back to the sauce pan. Whisk constantly on medium heat for 2 minutes. Strain and cool in an ice bath. When mixture is cooled add heavy cream. Follow manufacturer's instructions for your particular ice cream maker. Place in freezer before serving.
• PLATING:
• Place souffle on plate. Cut an opening in the top of the souffle and put a scoop of ice cream inside.
• Wine Suggestion: Bonny Doon Muscat de Glaciere

BOBO'S MANGO-LEMON-CRANBERRY-ICE CREAM BOBA (BUBBLE) TEA

Steps:

• There are several ways to prepare this delicacy-par-excellence.
• Door #1:.
• Boil the tapioca pearls according to the instructions on the back, usually for around 5 to 7 minutes in SUGAR water. Strain the pearls. In a pitcher, mix the mango lemonade with the cranberry juice. Take 4 glasses and divide the tapioca pearls amongst the four and spoon them into the glasses. Then pour the mango-lemon-cranberry fusion on top and place the straws inches Slurp and consume with a degree of caution- bubble tea would be a bad idea for small children as it is very easy to choke on the bubbles.
• Door # 2:
• Do the previous process and then put an iceberg of a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top it all off.
• Door # 3: Make it a fusion float by adding Sprite or Sierra Mist to the Mix. This also makes the ice cream mix more satisfyingly.
• Door # 4 (can there really be more?):.
• Using a large metal spoon and circling pressing motions, blend the vanilla ice cream with the tapioca pearls and a small amount of milk if the ice cream needs thinning. Scoop into glasses and drink like a milkshake. You could also, I suppose, scoop it into the manganaderry (mango lemonade cranberry) juice.
• Slurp away and do NOT, I repeat, do NOT have Tapioca Pearl cannon-fire fights by spraying them out of the straws at each other. It's fun, but stepping on a ball of tapioca stuck to the floor the next day kind of pops the metaphorical bubble.
• All the talk aside, these are tasty drinks and should be enjoyed! Let me know if you like!
