I loved the Earl Grey gelato I tried at Wagshal's last month and when I went to Wagshal's a week ago, they didn't have the flavor any more. So here is my own version of Earl Grey ice cream and it is delicious! I'm excited that I can make my own now. My next flavor to try to make is a green tea ice cream. Also I did notice that adding eggs in the ice cream for the custard gave it a creamy consistency and it was
easier to scoop after storing in the freezer. I suggest storing in the
freezer for at least a few hours before serving, otherwise it will be
more of a soft serve consistency. Hope you make some ice cream for 4th
of July this week. Enjoy!
