Notes
Leftovers and Storage: Transfer to a freezer safe container or dish. Freeze at least 2 hours or overnight until firm. The best way to keep ice cream fresher for longer is to make sure it is stored in an air tight container and the temperature is kept as stable as possible. You can cover the ice cream with plastic wrap or parchment paper for extra seal and then put the lid on top.
Nut Substitutions or Omission: If you are allergic to nuts, you can omit. The nuts primarily serve as an extra textural component but the flavor is still excellent without. You can also substitute walnuts for other nuts of choice. The nuts add texture. I recommend picking a nut with a mild flavor (example: pecans or macadamia nuts) that won’t overwhelm the Thai tea flavor.
