#COOKWITHME: THAI TEA ICE CREAM (ไอติมชาเย็น) - WITHOUT ICE CREAM MACHINE

THAI TEA ICE CREAM / ไอติมชาเย็น

Ingredients: 
(Makes a quart) 

1 ½ cup Whipping Cream
3 bags Thai Tea / ¼ cup Thai Tea leaves
A pinch of Salt
100 ml Sweetened Condensed Milk (reduce the amount if you prefer less sweet)

Optional:
1 ½ tablespoon Baileys's or any other Irish Cream liqueur

Additional Toppings:
3 tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 tablespoon Evaporate Milk

Mix well and refrigerate for later use.


HOW TO MAKE:

1. In a small pot, heat the whipping cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Add tea bags / leaves when the cream is steaming and stir just until the cream boils. 
3. Remove from heat and steep for 5 minutes. Add in a pinch of salt.

4. Using the fine mesh strainer, strain the cream as press out as much liquid as you can.
(Note: Don't leave the cream sit until it cools down or it will be really hard to strain)

5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or completely cold when the cream is cool enough to go into the fridge. (Make sure the cream is cold before whipping).

6. Whip the cream to soft-peak using a stand mixer once the cream is chilled completely.

7. Add condensed milk and Bailey's (optional) and continue whipping until stiff peaks. 

8. Transfer the ice cream into a container and freeze for 2- 3 hours or until solid. 

9. Scoop and serve!

Trust me. It tastes so good like gelato!
