Recipe Notes

• Use one vanilla bean in place of the pure vanilla extract if preferred.
• Omit the shortbread cookies if you need a gluten-free option.
• You’ll need a very fine strainer to strain the tea leaves. However, don’t be discouraged if you cannot strain them all. Leaving some leaves in the ice cream is fine and won’t alter the taste.
