Ice cream base and basic method

Hello, all!

Here is my current ice cream base:

• 135 g white sugar
• pinch of salt
• 300 ml single cream
• 300 ml double cream

I usually mix the single cream, sugar, and pinch of salt in a saucepan and heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.  Sometimes I'll put all the cream in at once.

Depending on what flavour, I might mix something into the cream while heating, or just after -- cardamom gets heated with the cream, as does ground vanilla or vanilla beans and instant decaf coffee; vanilla extract gets added just after.

Fruit gets added after it's all cool.  

Enjoy!
