Masala Chai Ice Cream

You can always expect the unexpected from Nik & Edwina as in this tea Ice cream recipe recently sent to me by Nik.

This is an excellent way to finish a curry, and always reminds us of the chai - Indian tea - served on Indian trains in little clay cups. It’s got a comforting, creamy tea-ish flavour, against a warm, inviting spicey background. We make it with Rooibos tea bags so it is caffeine free but traditionally you’d use a strong tea such as Assam. Chai spice is available from Indian supermarkets throughout London - we get ours in Tooting - but can also be found online (Spices of India)
