Chai ice pops
750 ml water
8 black teabags
1 can condensed milk
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Boil the water, and pour over the teabags in a large jug. Steep for 15 mins then remove the teabags. Add the condensed milk and spices, and chill overnight. Pour into popsicle moulds and freeze 6-8 hours. The popsicles will have a fairly crystalline texture.
I'd like to try this as ice cream, starting with a rich custard made from cream and egg yolks instead of the condensed milk. The extra fat would help get a smoother texture, but I'd need an icecream maker, or to stir it regularly to break up the crystals as they form.
