What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Front-Runner Favs: Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream! Before I begin, let me assure you this recipe does not require any special equipment other than a stand mixer. Truth. No ice cream maker is needed. It’s also done in stages. That means you can steep the tea and refrigerate it overnight before combining all the ingredients to store in the freezer. And the taste, you wonder? Bold, creamy, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth smooth. Now let’s get started. You’re going to love this.
EARL GREY TEA ICE CREAM
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
2 Earl Grey Tea bags
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk*
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons natural honey
Instructions:
Be sure the mixing bowl, whisk, and loaf pan are chilled before using. (I placed mine in the freezer overnight.) Measure heavy cream into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes on HIGH; just until little bubbles form around the edge of the bowl. Watch carefully. Do not allow the cream to boil or froth up. Remove from microwave. Immediately add tea bags to cream and cover. Steep the tea bags for 30 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard. Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator until chilled or overnight. In the chilled bowl of the stand mixer, combine heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and natural honey. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the chilled loaf pan. Freeze 6 hours or overnight before serving.
*If the ingredients are warm, the mixture won’t thicken to desired texture. I put the can of sweetened condensed milk in the refrigerator beforehand.

I love the texture of these no-churn ice creams using sweetened condensed milk. It’s really amazing. I make one with raspberry liquor and fresh raspberries, but I will definitely want to try the Earl Grey next. Such a good idea to infuse the cream with the tea, so many possibilities here!

Does the “fruity” flavor of the tea come through using only 2 tea bags?
