Earl Grey Ice Cream

This Earl Grey Ice Cream has subtle floral hints with a touch of lemon. It's so refreshing and perfect for Spring desserts. Get churning. It's gonna be awesome.

I was never much of a tea drinker early on in life. In the totally indulgent house I grew up (at least when it came to food) we always had instant hot chocolate on hand. Neither of my parents drank coffee, and somehow, tea seemed like it was for fancy people or Chinese restaurants. Then I moved down south, and sweet tea poured over mountains of ice was amazing, but I still almost never drank it hot.

But then I fell in love with an Englishman, and tea became a daily ritual. Turns out I really loved it and wanted to learn more about different types of tea. Today, I've got at least 5 different types of tea in my kitchen at any given time. I'm certainly no expert and still want to learn more, but my morning cup of tea has become a ritual I depend on.

What makes Earl Grey Ice Cream so awesome?

Earl Grey is black tea with bergamot and citrus, and it's lovely and floral and perfect for spring. Some people put milk in it, others lemon juice. With Earl Grey Ice Cream, you get the best of both worlds. This rich and creamy treat is made by steeping the warm milk with Earl Grey tea to infuse it with that distinctive flavor.

This version also has a splash of lemon juice to heighten the citrus flavor. It's bright and floral and so delicious. This ice cream is lovely on its own but would also be a beautiful accompaniment to something Madeira Cake. Get yourself out in the garden and eat some ice cream, kids. It's what the English would do.

Magical Properties of Bergamot

Bergamot might be my favorite essential oil. As part of the citrus family, it will definitely carry cleansing properties. It's also effective in spells for money and success. Ruled by the planet Mercury and the element of air, you can call on bergamot for clear communication. It can also be used to evoke the energy of Gemini and Virgo.
