baitcon | Test Batches - Back to the drawing board for the Herb Cream Cheese

The verdict on last night's batch of ice cream is that it is too salty and too garlicky to be eaten on its own. However it will make a lovely topping for some grilled lamb or possibly some pasta, so its not a complete waste. While the intensity of flavor in Alouette was worth trying out, I think that ultimately to make a decent herb ice cream I will be better off working with regular cream cheese and adding extra herbs to get the heightened flavor. Oh well, time for a revision and another test batch.

I think that tonight's test batch will be the Chrysanthemum Tea Ice Cream using this recipe for Green Tea Ice Cream as a base. I'll be substituting the chrysanthamum tea powder at double the original recipe's strength for the green tea powder that they used. Still not sure about adding egg yolks.
