  • About

By itself, cardamom ice cream is good. Mixed with coffee (a traditional Middle Eastern combination), it’s even better.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 vanilla beans, split, seeds scraped out and pods reserved for another use
  • 1 tablespoon

Method

  1. Rinse a medium saucepan and leave it wet. Add the milk, vanilla seeds, cardamom, and coffee. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring just to a boil, stirring.
  2. Beat the yolks and sugar together until thick and slightly lightened in color. Stir about ½ cup of the hot milk
