I think Thai tea is the best in the world (but I'm biased ;-) so of course it makes the best tea ice cream!dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-36813972563265941672008-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:002008-04-05T17:02:00.000-07:00OK, really weird.

So I'll just compliment you again! :)<BR/><BR/>I love Thai ice cream. My local Thai restaurant offers Thai tea or coffee with a generous scoop of Thai ice cream. Oh so yummy.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-72443177590028972582008-04-04T06:47:00.001-07:002008-04-04T06:47:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-84355952743828543472008-04-04T06:47:00.000-07:002008-04-04T06:47:00.000-07:00I hear a lot of people use half and half and/or wh...I hear a lot of people use half and half and/or whole milk. Maybe you could try that??<BR/><BR/>Yes, I've found the key to ice cream is patience. I remember it took forever for the bowl to freeze, then it seemed to take forever for the ice cream itself to free. Good luck!!dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-76473527055112309042008-04-04T00:33:00.000-07:002008-04-04T00:33:00.000-07:00The $5 for 1.9 liters (er, half gallon, haha) soun...The $5 for 1.9 liters (er, half gallon, haha) sounds great!! A liter (quart) of President/ Arla/ Elle & Vire/ Anchor (all imported from France/ Australia) costs about $7.50. In theory a local creamery could make proper 35% cream but I think there is not much clamor for it, plus there's the logistics thing, with having to refrigerate it all the time, spoiling so easily, etc. I have a friend whose dad works for Nestle Philippines, but he's in the legal department and I don't think they'd take me seriously anyway :P<BR/><BR/>Unless you live on a farm or near one, free-range eggs are uncommon-- but still only about $3 for a dozen, I think. Standard price for a dozen battery eggs here is $1.50.<BR/><BR/>I made my first batch! 'Tis just firming up some more. I like mine hard enough to make those beautiful fissures on the surface when scooped. It feels like an eternity waiting for it!Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-44479571029195842082008-04-03T08:26:00.000-07:002008-04-03T08:26:00.000-07:00Thanks all!

Armed with it, I feel like I have the confidence to experiment and not worry about messing up the texture.<BR/><BR/>manggy: the cost depends on where I buy the cream. If I do it at Costco, it costs less than 5 dollars for a half gallon of cream, which is enough to make at least a couple quarts of ice cream. If I buy the cream at my local grocery store, it will cost almost $5 for just a quart of cream. For me, it's not hte cream that costs a lot, but the eggs. We used to pay $1.50 for a dozen farm fresh eggs purchased from Hubby's coworker. Unfortunately they don't work together anymore. Now I pay almost $4.50 for a dozen eggs. I could get them cheaper, but I'm picky about eggs, so I just suck it up.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I understand it gets expensive if a batch gets messed up. But when everything goes right, it is worth every penny.<BR/><BR/>Jenn: Thanks! And I don't think you'll be disappointed!dphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255384036992381006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-58298878812481208842008-04-03T07:25:00.000-07:002008-04-03T07:25:00.000-07:00SO COOL!

I can't wait to see what other ice cream concoctions you come up with as I am always looking for unique flavors!<BR/><BR/>Welcome to The Foodie Blogroll! :)<BR/><BR/>I will put my 2 cents in for Manggy - it usually costs me $3 to make a 2 quart batch. Mostly it is for the milk and cream - I usually try to use ingredients to flavor the ice cream that I have at home.Thistlemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898600488153652504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576927653874971703.post-57258820009566848602008-04-03T04:10:00.000-07:002008-04-03T04:10:00.000-07:00There can never be too many ice cream posts (says ...There can never be too many ice cream posts (says the fellow food blogger who seems to ashamedly post about ice cream every other week ;-) )!

I'm gonna ask you the same thing I asked Jen about making ice cream-- how much did it set you back? I bought real European cream (we only get the crap 24% cream locally) and it cost me $5! Ouch! I might as well be buying factory ice cream. That's why I'm trying to make flavors that can't be found here :)Manggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977929776424593762noreply@blogger.com
