Vanilla Chai Ice Cream Recipe and #Giveaway

Enjoy your favorite afternoon tea flavor in a cold and creamy treat with this Vanilla Chai Ice Cream Recipe!

Yep!  Yep!  More ice cream, I just can’t help myself!  I eat ice cream all throughout winter.

This Vanilla Chai Ice Cream Recipe is perfect for winter.  It has the cool, creamy texture and the slightly spicy chai flavor.  I used my favorite tea, Bigelow Vanilla Chai.  But feel free to use your preferred chai tea brand or flavor.

Savora supplied me with an ice cream scoop to review, however all content and opinions are my own.

Do you see that super shiny, space-age looking, totally awesome ice cream scoop!?!  That is a Savora Ice Cream Scoop.  The lovely folks at Savora sent me one of their gorgeous scoops to try out and are also supplying a scoop for the giveaway below!

It is no secret that I LOVE Ice Cream!  I also love ice cream scoops . . . I own enough scoops to be considered a collector.  And, I am totally guilty of being attracted to shiny things!  So, I was super excited to try this new line of Savora Scoops.

The ice cream scoop works really well.  It is heavier than normal scoops.  You could totally use it as a weapon if someone breaks into your house while you are making an ice cream sundae . . . it could happen.  Gotta love kitchen tools with a dual purpose!

Anyways, back to this Vanilla Chai Ice Cream Recipe.  For this ice cream recipe I finally tried adding xanthan gum to create a softer more scoopable consistency.  It works great!  But if you do not have xanthan gum it can be easily omitted. 

You must make this immediately, especially if you love chai tea!
