Ayurvedic ice creams are good for you because they include spices that break up mucous and aid digestion. We also use milk instead of heavy creams. Homemade ice-cream is easy to make by following this rule of thumb: Ice becomes ice cream by breaking large ice crystals into small ones. Creamier ingredients also make ice cream more creamy. Start by mixing all the ingredients together and put in the freezer for one hour. Afterwards, stir every half hour until the ice cream is completely frozen. Voila! This recipe discovered by Dr. Lad of the Ayurvedic Institute.
Optional: Experiment with essential oils like sandalwood or khus.
