Homemade Mint Ice Cream

I found an awesome recipe for homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream. Even better was that it used fresh mint leaves and I have tons in my herb garden. I found the recipe on The Kitchn.


First I had to harvest my chocolate mint leaves and wash them.
 
Then I had to snip off all the undamaged leaves. This took a long time.


After gathering all my ingredients and heating them up, I bruised the mint leaves and tossed them into the cream to steep for 4 hours

Once the liquid was cool I strained out the leaves and reheated the liquid. Then had to chill it again. Finally I got to pour it into the ice cream maker.

Half about 30 minutes it was time to pour in the chocolate chips.

Ahhh!!!!! The finished product. Very tasty!!!!!
