Tea Ice Cream (Polish Krem Z Herbaty)

• 1 (1/4 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
• 14 cup water
• 2 cups light cream
• 1 vanilla beans (2-inch piece) or 2 tablespoons candied orange peel
• 1 tablespoon dry tea leaves (Irish Breakfast, Earl Grey, green, jasmine, chai, whatever you like)
• 8 egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 14 cup rum

1. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water; stir to blend.
2. Set aside to soften for 5 minutes (It won't hurt to let it sit longer) (make sure the gelatin dissolves completely).
3. In a saucepan, combine light cream, vanilla, and tea leaves.
4. Cover and bring just to boiling, over medium heat.
5. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
6. Pour through a strainer to remove the vanilla bean and bits of leaves.
7. In a large bowl, cream egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy (1-2 minutes).
8. Whip the heavy cream until thickened (about 8 minutes).
9. Mix with whipped cream, tea-flavored cream, rum, and dissolved gelatin; whip again for 5 minutes.
10. Pour into a 2-quart freezer safe container and freeze for 4 hours.
