No need for an ice cream maker: Turns out all that's required to make incredible homemade ice cream is three ingredients and a freezer.
1 cup 35% cream
4 earl grey tea bags
1/2 300-mL sweetened condensed milk
SIMMER cream in a small saucepan over medium-high, then remove from heat. Stir tea bags into hot cream. Let steep for 10 min, then pour through a sieve into a medium bowl. Use the bottom of a spoon to press down gently on tea bags to extract more cream. Refrigerate cream unti very cold, preferably overnight. (Cream will not whip if it is not cold enough.)
BEAT cold cream in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium, until soft peaks form, 2 to 4 min. Reduce speed to low and beat in sweetened condensed milk until just combined. Mixture should be smooth and fluffy.
SCRAPE mixture into a resealable container. Freeze until firm, 6 hours.
