I used to go to Panera Bread and they used to serve steamed milk with different flavored syrups like cinnamon, cardamom, etc. And I wanted to re-create those flavors at home but in an ice cream. And I thought about the different spices that I might need or want. I decided to use cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and then there is always that fourth spice that I forget until I look through my cupboard. It's an interesting ice cream making procedure that I used. <br /> <br />You can use the complex method or the easy method. The complex method yields a much more flavorful ice cream but it takes 2 hours to complete. So, it depends upon how much you might like chai or unique flavors of ice cream. You can really almost use any ice cream base to make the ice cream. So, if you have a favorite ice cream base that you like to use, then you can use that and then just follow my directions for adding the spices. Enjoy!
