My children discovered the taste of tarragon and like my new kitchen gadget: the ice cream maker. I found recipes for lavander ice cream, thyme ice cream . And in this cookbook you find parsley ice cream. So why not trying a tarragon ice cream? I googled for it and found a recipe 27.11.2022 ** for
Tarragon Ice Cream
At first you have the taste of vanilla and then the anise like tarragon flavour. Wow, a great experience of taste! I made the half of the following recipe and reduced the sugar/syrup to 200 grams.

Directions
Put a bain maire on ice. Boil the milk with half of the sugar; add the vanilla bean, mix and set aside. Ribbon the yolks and remaining sugar, and temper with the milk. Cook the mixture over medium heat and, as you would for a crème Anglaise, stir constantly, taking care not to scorch the mixture. It is done when the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Add the tarragon and mix. Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight. Strain through a fine chinois, and spin the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions. Eat lots.

Great combination
I love the sound of vanilla and tarragon used together! Wow, what a great sounding recipe. And what a fantastic photo of the ice cream with the tarragon plant surrounding it.

Still on the sweets, though, I see. But, ice cream….it is summer after all!
I really need to get an ice cream machine…
What a interesting and unusual flavour combination!!
Interesing mix !:)
Like your kids, I’ve not tasted tarragon before :( I cannot imagine how this would taste in ice cream, I’ll have to check out this herb, thanks !:)
Very interesting
What an interesting combination of flavors. I hope my tiny tarragon plant gets to a point where I can actually pick some leaves and try them in this recipe.
