GREEN TEA ICE CREAM
In small bowl, pour boiling water over tea. Cover; steep 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in medium
saucepan, combine half-and-half and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat until very hot but
not boiling, stirring constantly. Transfer half-and-half mixture to medium bowl; stir in vanilla,
salt, and tea mixture. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours to overnight.
Pour tea mixture through fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. If needed, repeat until leaves are
removed. In small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; let stand 1 minute. Add gelatin
mixture and whipping cream to tea mixture; mix well. Pour ice cream mixture into dessert
maker; turn on Mix and Freeze Switches. Freeze 15 to 20 minutes. When desired consistency
is reached, serve immediately or dispense into chilled container, cover, and freeze.
