Hojicha Ice Cream Sandwiches
2 slices of toast
3 strawberries, hulled and quartered
1-2 scoops hojicha ice cream
1-2 tbsp Plum & Bay Leaf Jam
Hojicha Ice Cream
300ml milk
300ml cream
3 hojicha teabags - 9g
3 egg yolks
110g sugar
1. In a medium sized pan, combine the milk, cream and tea bags. Heat the milk and stir the tea bags to help release the flavour. Bring to the boil, turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes before removing the tea bags.
2. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Slowly pour the milk on to the egg yolks, whisking continuously, then pour back into the saucepan. Stir continuously over a low heat with a spatula until it has thickened slightly. It should be able to coat the back of a spatula. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve and chill in the refrigerator. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.
3. Spread the Plum & Bay Leaf Jam evenly across each toast slice.
4. Evenly scatter the strawberries on one slice followed by the hojicha ice cream. Sandwich together with the other slice of toast. Serve immediately.
