Injeolmi Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup of Injeolmi powder
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Special equipment needed:
- Ice cream maker

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they are pale yellow and slightly thickened.

3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.

4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

5. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the Injeolmi powder and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

8. Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

9. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
