Bigelow Tea has the scoop on indulging in ice cream this summer: July is both National Ice Cream Month and features National Ice Cream Day on Sunday July 21!

Now we have a very cool reason for repeatedly going to our local ice cream shop. In fact, family-owned businesses make up the majority of ice cream makers in the U.S., according to the International Dairy Foods Association. For generations, these “mom and pop” ice cream parlors have been meeting our nation’s craving for our favorite frozen dessert. As a family-owned business ourselves, Bigelow Tea is celebrating all things “made in the USA” this month … and we’re excited to add local ice cream shops to our list!

So visit your local ice cream parlor this month, and if you want to try making homemade ice cream, we have recipes for you! All feature Bigelow Teas like our Vanilla Caramel and Earl Grey. Or start with this one below, made with Bigelow Green Tea with Peach! Delish!

Instructions:

Combine heavy cream and half-and-half in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, being careful not to boil.

Turn off the heat; add sugar and salt, stirring to dissolve. Add the vanilla and the tea bags and let the mixture cool to room temperature, occasionally stirring and gently pressing the tea bags to infuse cream with the tea flavor. When cool, cover tightly and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Before freezing, pour the mixture through a sieve set over a large bowl. Press the tea bags to release flavor. Add the diced peaches and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.
