Thai Tea Ice Cream

March 27, 2012 By Lokness 7 Comments

After a good Thai dinner with chicken yellow curry and pineapple fried rice, it can’t be completed without a scoop of Thai tea ice cream. If you like Thai ice tea, you will love this ice cream. The orange color ice cream is vibrant and beautiful, and it is very creamy, cold with strong Thai tea flavors. Delicious! If you just want to make Thai ice tea too, read my recipe.

Thai Tea Ice Cream (Adapted from seriouseats.com)

3 cups

Ingredients:

–   3 cups half and half

–   ½ cup Thai tea (the tea leaves mix)

–   ¾ cup sugar

–   6 egg yolks

–   pinch of salt

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the half and half until it forms bubbles around the edge of the pan and steam begins to rise. Remove from heat. Stir in the Thai tea and steep for 15 minutes.
  2. Strain the half and half through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Discard the tea leaves.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and salt together until thicken and pale in color. Temper the yolks by pouring 1 cup warmed half and half mixture into the yolks while whisking. Continue adding warmed mixture until combine. Pour everything back into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture is thickened and the cream coats the back of the spoon.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Refrigerated until completely chilled.
  5. Finish the mixture in an ice-cream maker by following the ice-cream maker instruction. Transfer the ice-cream to a container and freeze for a few hours before serving.

    – ½ Thai tea (the tea leaves mix)
    Does this mean 1/2 cup of thai tea leaves mix?

      Opps, I forgot to type in the word “cup”. Yes, it is 1/2 cup. Sorry about that, and thanks for pointing it out.

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) a Galbi mandu (dumpling) from Chang Hwa Dang (CHD) are so damn GOOD! 🥟 Smokey, little sweet, meaty, & crispy skin. I could eat a few plates of those! We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
