I've taken to having a small scoop in lieu of a coffee break, but if you're the kind of person who thinks ice cream has a place at afternoon tea (and why not?), this is the recipe you're looking for.
Note: Use whole cardamom pods for the best flavor.
The amount below will give a very subtle cardamom flavor to the ice cream.
For a more cardamom-forward scoop, double the amount, but remove before adding the ground coffee.
In a heavy saucepan bring cream and milk to a simmer.
While dairy is heating, toast cardamom pods in a dry skillet until aromatic, about 30 seconds, and press down on them to open with the flat side of a knife.
When dairy comes to a simmer, remove from heat, stir in cardamom pods, cover, and steep for 30 minutes.
In a clean heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and coffee until well combined.
Quickly strain dairy into egg yolks and whisk until fully combined.
Place pot over medium-low heat and cook, whisking frequently, until a custard forms on a spoon and a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line, or until custard temperature reaches 170°F.
Stir in salt to taste.
Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer and chill in either ice bath or refrigerator until it is very cold, about 40°F.
Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions, then transfer to an airtight container and to harden in freezer for at least 4 hours before serving.
