Preparation

Step 1

1. Allow the mint leaves to steep in the milk overnight in the refrigerator.

2. Pour the milk through a sieve into a saucepan. Scald the milk, then remove from heat.

3. Meanwhile, beat the yolks and sugar together until fluffy. Whisk in a few tablespoons of the scalded milk, then add the egg/milk mixture into the remaining scalded milk. Return to heat on low, stirring occasionally, and cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.

4. Strain and refrigerate until cool. Add to a ice cream maker and churn until frozen and creamy. Remove to a freezer-safe container and freeze until hard, about 1 to 2 hours. Allow to soften slightly before serving.
