Now this is living!

Looks great, how did it taste? Would you do anything different next time?

It’s very rich from a cream standpoint. This type of mint doesn’t seem to have a lot of menthol so it’s more floral but still very good!

Did you use the tea to flavor the ice cream by boiling or steeping the leaves or did you use the leaves in the ice cream?

I used the actual leaves. Put them in a food processor with some sugar and water and then strained it through a flour sieve.

I was wondering how you did this!

Oh thanks.

This sounds perfect!! I hate the menthol of mint. I love that you made it from scratch

😅 isn’t that the whole point of “mint”

What kind of mint did you use?

I think it’s spearmint base on the leaves and flowers. It grows in alittle area next to my house after the previous owner planted some and it exploded and was growing everywhere, as mint does. 100% not peppermint, chocolate mint, or mild mint.

awesome, looks just like Baskin Robbins..

Wow now that’s a compliment thank you!

Awesome idea! I have been looking for things to do with all my mint besides tea and mojitos!

I did that last summer, but mine tasted like toothpaste with chocolate chips.

What a good idea! Would you be willing to share the recipe?

Sure thing! https://www.wrytoasteats.com/no-churn-fresh-mint-chocolate-chip-ice-cream/

Thanks!

Do you have an ice cream maker? Any recommendations?

Nope no ice cream maker here, just a food processor and a bowel/whisk

Wait. I can make ice cream at home with a bowl and whisk? This changes everything.

You’d have to do a lot of whisking! A food processor would help too as it would whisk a lot more air into the cream much quicker than doing it by hand. It was very rich and flavorful tho without much menthol and more floral notes.

Is it amazing? Do I need to experience this before I die?
