Thanks, Kevin.

Eva: Yeah, I am liking the idea of steeping the mint leaves in the milk and then straining. Martha’s recipe called for blending the milk and mint and then straining out the little bits of mint.

Amy: Hmm, I wonder if I would like peppermint more than spearmint? I think I’m going to get the David Lebovitz book. I was looking for a good excuse and now I have one! My other excuse would be summer, but I’m pretty sure that summer’s not actually coming this year.

Kristin – I was going to suggest looking in David Lebovitz’s “The Perfect Scoop”, too. I would direct you to a fresh mint choc chip ice cream I had made once (off of epicurious), but if you don’t like strong mint, you definitely wouldn’t have liked this. We used fresh peppermint from our garden and wooooo, was it minty! –Amy

I have tried similar recipie as suggested by the District Domestic. The result was good, the trick is not to use the mint leaves, but to strain them out.

This ice cream looks and sounds really good! Mint and chocolate chip ice cream is one of my favorites.

I tried clicking to your link to the recipe and it did not work. Ice cream looks yummy.

We think it’s pretty good! More like a gelato recipe and more of a “hint” of mint!

I haven’t tried it, but I have heard really good things about the one on Simply Recipes. I have seen quite a few food bloggers make it and rave about it.

Check out David Lebovitz’ book “The Perfect Scoop” He has a recipe for chocolate mint icecream. It uses mint oil. That might be the key to a good mint flavor. I think fresh mint could taste a little medicinal. Good Luck!
