Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups full cream milk
  • 1 cup thickened cream
  • 2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 star anise

Instructions

  • Add yolks and sugar to a medium bowl and whisk until well combined and pale in colour (set aside).
  • Add milk, cream, turmeric, honey and star anise to a medium saucepan and stir on a med-high heat. Once simmering, remove from heat.
  • Scoop out about 1 cup of the milk and slowly pour into the yolks, all the while whisking as fast as possible. Once combined, pour back into the milk while stirring constantly.
  • Add milk mixture back to a medium heat and continue heating until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Don't allow to boil.
  • Place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight to enhance the flavour of the spices.
  • Once cooled, pour milk through a fine strainer into your ice cream machine. Churn as per manufacturers instructions then add back to freezer for another 2 hours or until hardened.
