Sweet Earl Grey Lavender Ice Cream with a Blackberry swirl

Witchy Tip: Hang a peach pit over your oven to repeal negative energy.

Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Base

3 bags of Earl grey tea

1 tsp dried lavender

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

2 cups whole milk

½ cup sugar

1 cup heavy cream

1 tbsp honey

1tsp vanilla extract

For the Blackberry swirl

12 oz fresh blackberries

½ cup sugar

A squeeze of lemon juice

2 pinches of cornstarch 

Squeeze of honey

Directions

Start by sticking a pound cake pan in the freezer overnight. The next day add blackberries, sugar, honey, cornstarch and lemon juice to a sauce pan. Simmer on medium low heat until the mixture has turned thick and syrupy.

Blend the mixture and transfer to cool. If you do not like seeds, you can feed the mixture through a sieve.

Combine your whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, condensed milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Let it boil but stir frequently. Boil for about 2 minutes before adding in your tea bags and lavender. Steep for 15 minutes before removing.

Soak your ice cream mixture, placed in a ziplock bag in an ice bath, for half an hour before putting it in an ice-cream maker for 15 minutes. 

Spread 1/3 of the ice cream mixture into a pound cake tin, then dollop some of the blackberry syrup and swirl it. Repeat until both of the mixtures are gone.
