Ingredients:
- 2 cans (27 ounces) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 3 chai tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose-leaf chai tea)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- A pinch of ground cloves
- A pinch of ground ginger
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Chai Infusion Magic:
- Begin by pouring the coconut milk into a saucepan.
- Add the honey or maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
- Open the chai tea bags (or use loose-leaf chai tea) and add the tea leaves to the mixture.
2. Gentle Simmer:
- Heat the coconut milk mixture over medium-low heat until it’s warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to infuse the chai flavors.
- Once it reaches the desired chai flavor intensity, remove it from heat and let it cool. This can take about 20-30 minutes.
3. Strain and Chill:
- Strain the infused coconut milk mixture to remove the chai tea leaves.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least two hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the ice cream base to cool.
4. Churn to Perfection:
- Pour the chilled coconut chai ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, this takes about 20-30 minutes, resulting in a luxurious, spiced euphoria.
5. Freeze to Set:
- Transfer the freshly churned Coconut Chai Euphoria ice cream into an airtight container.
- Freeze it for a few hours until the ice cream reaches your desired firmness.
6. Serve and Savor:
- Scoop out generous servings of this spiced sensation into bowls or cones.
- For an extra touch of visual appeal, you can sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top.
