Rosemary ‘Ice Cream’ of Frozen Yogurt
A dazzlingly white ‘ice cream’ made from Greek style yogurt. Simple to make and with a delicate astringency.
So refreshing and tasty, perfect as a mouth cleansing dish.
Ingredients:
Method:
Put the sugar in a small saucepan, add the water and gently heat, stirring to dissolve, until you have a syrup.
Add the rosemary leaves and crush them into the sugar syrup with a wooden spoon, to release their oils; raise the temperature so that the syrup reaches boiling point and then lower the heat, to simmer gently for 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the contents to infuse in the pan for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Put the sugar syrup through a sieve over a large bowl and discard the rosemary. Add the yogurt and stir to mix then chill.
Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
To Serve:
Serve in solitary splendour in little white bowls, garnished with a rosemary sprig, with little shortbread or almond biscuits; or serve with some fresh strawberries or poached fruit.
