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.
