Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a heavy saucepan, scald the milk over medium-low heat with the sugar and vanilla bean, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar desolves. (If using extract, do not add it at this stage; wait until after chilling the mixture.)

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they coat the whisk.

  3. Step 3

    Slowly whisk the scalded milk mixture into the beaten yolks.

  4. Step 4

    Add the mint leaves and steep until the mixture cools.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the mixture.

  6. Step 6

    Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing down on the leaves to extract all the moisture, and discard the mint.

  7. Step 7

    Add the heavy cream, cover the bowl completely and chill.

  8. Step 8

    Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions, then transfer to air-tight containers for storage.
