New combinations
Oolong Fig: A combination of Oolong Tea ice cream with sugar-plumped mission figs - it works! Pictured above with Meyer Lemon Curd and Ginger Rose ice creams.
ON MY LIST:
Fresh Mint with White Chocolate Freckles (an extremely belated birthday present to Keith) - I would use the Mint Julep ice cream base recipe.
Something with Pomelo. Pomelo-Basil Sorbet? How good does this cocktail sound?

A visit to Ice Cream City
I returned home from Japan yesterday, and one of the highlights of my trip was a visit to ICE CREAM CITY in Tokyo!

If I hadn’t been feeling so sick already with a nasty head...

A Christmas ice cream?
My apologies… nothing will be happening on this blog for a while as I will be leaving town soon.
I haven’t stopped thinking about ice cream flavors though. In addition to the Eggnog and Christmas Plum Pudding flavors that I’d like to make when I return, I am also toying with the idea of a red, white and green Christmas-themed ice cream terrine.

New ice cream maker: Cuisinart ICE21

Yes, he will be enjoying homemade ice cream for the rest of his life.

Kombucha Sorbet Experiments
I’ll admit I don’t know much about kombucha - a “fermented yeast” known for its impressive range of health benefits and uniquely tart flavor. I was introduced to this beverage only a couple of months ago.
When Hannah Crum - master kombucha brewer, educator and advocate - suggested that we collaborate on some kombucha sorbets, I thought why not? I love ice cream...
