Ingredients
3 cups half and half
20 kaffir lime leaves, bruised slightly
2 inches ginger, thinly sliced
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
5 tablespoons gin
1 teaspoon rosewater
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine half and half, lime leaves, and ginger over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using a strainer, fish out lime leaves and ginger slices. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar together until light in color and slightly thickened. Ladle 1/2 cup half and half into bowl, whisking constantly, then transfer yolk mixture to saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until base coats the back of a spoon but a finger swipe leaves a clean line. Strain into an airtight container, then stir in gin and rosewater. Add salt to taste, then chill in refrigerator overnight. The next day, churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
