I’m intrigued by those chickpea sweets!

Helen, I’ve been reading your blog for ages but never commented before – now I have to because I’m so glad you made this recipe! I love Earl Grey and absolutely anything with chickpeas, but have never made this from Persia in Peckham because a) everyone but me thinks it sounds weird and b) I don’t have an ice-cream machine.

Maybe this Christmas Santa will smile on me…

I am smitten with lemon verbena and this ice cream has to be eaten one spoonful at a time…slowly.

Oh no I hope the wife doesn’t see this or she’s going to want to get an ice cream maker even more then I’m really going to be the size of the Michelin man!

This icecream sounds fantastic – can’t wait to try it. Have learnt my lessons enough times with the scrambling custard too… makes me want to cry.

Actually you could almost call this Lady Grey ice cream. I believe Lady Grey tea is black tea with Bergamot (like Earl Grey) and also lemon.

I’ve been thinking of getting an ice cream maker but I might wait until I move back to Australia. We are spoiled for choice with wonderful artisanal ice cream in San Francisco so there’s no point in making my own all that often. Also, the voltages are different in the US so I would probably have to replace the gadget when I left the country.

I can just see the thought process, how can I incorporate ice cream into my breakfast? Why Earl Grey Tea is the answer!

What ice creams are you developing for lunch and supper? The ice cream diet, it’s the new Atkins!

I’ve never been a fan of Earl Grey tea but this does sound delicious – and I bet the lemon freshens it up nicely. Looks beautiful.
