The fast way to make this recipe is with a store bought chai concentrate but you can also

make this by brewing your own chai (either herbal or regular with caffeine) and add your

own sweeteners to make your own "concentrated chai"

Do not use smoky pine nuts in this recipe For more information refer the pine nut listing

in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book)

CUSTARD

cups pine nuts raw

teaspoon lecithin

/ cup white grape juice

/ cups chai herbal concentrated

/ cup brown rice syrup

teaspoon rum extract

GARNISH

tablespoons light agave nectar syrup (or maple

tablespoons chopped nuts toasted

or with glazed toasted nuts eg

syrup)

(

pinch sea salt

FrangelicoGlazed Toasted Hazelnuts)

Blend all custard ingredients (except rum extract) at a very high speed until nuts are completely pureed (not gritty)

and mixture is smooth

Part way through the blending turn off the machine and use a spatula along the sides of the blender to dislodge

any nuts or other ingredients that might be clinging to the inside walls This should reduce the number of

unblended bits in the final custard mixture

Total time for blending should be about minutes at high speed or longer for blenders that blend at lower speeds

Transfer mixture to a sauce pan and heat over medium heat to thicken custard Mix frequently with a wire whisk

Heat at low simmer for about minutes Mix in rum extract

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold If the mixture is too warm some ice cream makers

will not be able to fully freeze the mixture Therefore in general it is recommended that the mixture be

refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker follow the manufacturer's direction for freezing In general

freezing takes approximately minutes but this will vary depending upon the machine ingredients and

temperature of the mixture

If you do not have an ice cream maker start with the refrigerated mixture and pour into a large rectangular pan

freeze until solid (but not hard) and blend again Freeze in a regular bowl Remove from freezer about

minutes before serving

Garnish individual servings with toasted chopped nuts Makes about cups
