Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup packed cilantro (leaves and stems are ok)
3/4 cup whole milk
Grated zest from two limes
1/3 cup of sugar
2 egg yolks
3/4 cup cream
Up to 2 grams of salt

Steps:

1. Put 4 cups of water on the stove and bring to a boil. In the meantime, wash the cilantro well (it is a very dirty vegetable). Once the water is at a full boil, toss in the cilantro. After 10 seconds remove the cilantro and soak it in cold water. This will help to preserve the color. Squeeze out as much of the excess water as possible. 2. Put the cilantro, lime zest, and milk in a blender. Blend on high for about 45 seconds to really break down the cilantro. The milk should turn bright green. 3. In a small saucepan, put the cream, cilantro infused milk, and about half of the sugar and heat to a bare simmer. 4. As the saucepan heats, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar and salt. 5. Once the saucepan contents come to temperature, remove the pan from the heat and slowly temper the eggs by adding in small quantities of the hot milk/cream to the eggs. Put all the contents back into the saucepan and return the pan to the heat. 6. Cook, stirring constantly until a candy thermometer reads 175 degrees F. 7. Remove the pan from the stove, strain through a fine mesh sieve (optional). Cool, chill, than freeze.
