Chai Tea Ice Cream

1. In a pot, place the milk, butter, 1/2 cup sugar and chai tea bags and let it boil until it turns brownish.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the yolks and the 2 tbsp sugar until the color turns a bit light.

3. Remove tea bags from the pot and press them through a strainer to make sure you get all the liquid out.

4. Pour the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture and mix.

5. Put the mixture back in the pot and cook on very low heat. Stir it continuously making sure that you don't overcook the eggs.

6. Once the mixture becomes thick & coats the back of a spoon, remove from heat, strain to another boil and cool on an ice bath to stop the eggs from further cooking.

7. Once cooled, churn in an ice cream mixer for 20-30 minutes or until formed.

8. Keep in freezer.
