Preparation:
Combine the half and half, cream, cinnamon, star anise and vanilla bean into a pot and bring to a slow boil. Remove from the heat and infuse for one hour. Whisk the yolks together with the sugar. Bring the cream mixture back to a boil and temper into the egg mixture. Return to the fire and cook, stirring slowly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Strain, chill and freeze in an ice cream machine. |
