Preparation
-
Breathe in the beauty of Frankincense, close your eyes and travel to the exotic heart of Oman.
On your voyage you'll need little more than cream, milk, sugar, eggs and... 100% pure Frankincense oil (Boswellia Sacra).
First, whip three golden balls of sunshine (egg yolks) with a 1/2 cup of sugar, You want the mixture to become thick and soft yellow.
Meanwhile, heat up the milk, cream and remaining sugar in a medium pot. Slide off the stove right before it reaches a bubble and whisk the hot liquid a little at a time into your egg mixture.
Return to medium-low heat and cook until thickened and the velvety mixture coats the back of a spoon.
Even the steam crawls through the air like incense, Beautiful.
Whisk in the frankincense drops to taste and strain. Tip: the oil will want to separate so move quickly to incorporate it (as though you're making salad dressing). Chill the mixture in an ice bath or overnight in the refrigerator.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
Enjoy the moment.
Wrap yourself in relaxation.
Let the ice cream lift your senses and encourage a smile to curl up from the corner of your lips.
It's worth it.
