Ingredients
480mlheavy cream
395gsweetened condensed milk
2tsploose leaf Earl Grey tea
1/2vanilla bean
Instructions
Combine the heavy cream and loose leaf tea in a saucepan and set on medium heat. Stir from time to time, the tea will release its flavour and colour as the cream warms. Remove from the heat just before it reaches boiling temperature. Transfer the saucepan to an ice water bath to cool to room temperature. When the mixture has cooled down, strain the cream to remove tea leaves and place in the fridge/freezer to chill completely. If chilling it in the freezer, make sure to stir it and check that it cools homogeneously and does not begin to freeze on the surface and bottom.
When the tea-flavoured cream has cooled to fridge temperature, cut the vanilla bean pod in half and scrape the beans down into the cream. Whip the cream using an electric mixer. The cream needs to be whipped to hard peaks, making sure not to overbeat it.
Pour the condensed milk into the whipped cream and fold it in. Pour the ice cream mixture into a container and place it in the freezer. Allow about 5-6 hours in the freezer to set before serving.
