ingredients
- 236.59 ml milk (skim, 1%, or whole)
- 473.18 ml half-and-half or 473.18 ml cream
- 3 egg yolks
- 157.80 ml sugar

- 14.79-29.58 ml loose black tea
- 2.46 ml cinnamon
- 1.23 ml clove
- 10-12 ground cardamom
- 2.46 ml ground ginger
- 118.29 ml chocolate chips
directions
- In a medium-sized pot, place 1/2 of the sugar, the tea and spices (spice amounts may be adjusted to your taste). Add the milk and stir well. Boil gently for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced minimally.
- While the tea is warming, whisk together egg yolks, remaining sugar, and pinch of salt.
- Pour the chai mixture slowly through a seive into the eggs, whisking vigorously (otherwise the eggs will curdle).
- Return the mixture to the pot (after removing chai sediment). Heat the custard, stirring gently, until about 170 degrees F. Monitor carefully, as the eggs will scramble if too hot!
- Place pan in an ice-bath to cool quickly, then cool in the refridgerator for about an hour.
- Transfer to ice-cream maker and freeze according to directions.
- If using, stir in chocolate chips near the end of the freezing process.
