Refreshing Apple Mint Ice Cream
Homemade Apple Mint Ice Cream Recipe, Combination of Milk and Lemon Juice, Cool Summer Treat
Hello everyone, it’s Superpower! Today, I’ve made a delightful Apple Mint Ice Cream that will refresh your palate. It’s incredibly simple: just blend fresh apple mint leaves with milk, honey, and lemon juice in a blender. To achieve a smoother texture, I strained the mixture to remove the mint leaves before freezing. Each bite offers a wonderful balance of the apple mint’s fragrant aroma, the creaminess of the milk, and the zesty tang of the lemon juice. While it might seem subtly flavored at first, it has a surprisingly addictive quality! If you’re a fan of apple mint, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. Let’s get started on making this delicious Apple Mint Ice Cream!
Ice Cream Ingredients
- 25g fresh apple mint leaves
- 495-510ml fresh milk
- 30-40ml lemon juice
- 70-80g honey (or sugar, to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully pick only the apple mint leaves from their stems and set them aside. Discard the stems.
Step 2
Wash the picked apple mint leaves thoroughly under running water and gently pat them dry. Place the clean leaves into your blender.
Step 3
Add 495-510ml of fresh milk and 30-40ml of lemon juice to the blender with the apple mint leaves. Secure the lid tightly and blend until all ingredients are smoothly pureed.
Step 4
Add 70-80g of honey to the blended mixture for sweetness. You can substitute sugar if preferred. Blend briefly again or stir well with a spatula until the honey or sugar is fully incorporated.
Step 5
If you prefer a smoother ice cream without the texture of mint leaves, prepare a fine-mesh sieve or strainer. Pour the blended mixture through the sieve to remove the mint pulp. This step ensures a much smoother final texture.
Step 6
Transfer the strained ice cream base into an airtight container. Close the lid securely and place it in the freezer until firm. For an even creamier texture, you can remove the container every 2-3 hours and scrape the ice cream with a fork to break up ice crystals. Freezing typically takes about 4-6 hours.
Step 7
Voilà! Your delicious Apple Mint Ice Cream is ready! Enjoy this cool and refreshing dessert to beat the heat!
