STEP 1: Split the bean and scrape the seeds out, and then simmer with the cream and milk for 30 minutes.
STEP 2: Cream the egg yolks, sugar, and guar gum to get a smooth mix. Set aside.
STEP 3: After the 30 minutes of simmering the cream/ milk mixture, remove the vanilla bean and slowly add 1 cup of the hot mixture to the egg/sugar mixture using a mixer at low speed.
STEP 4: Once completed, pour the egg/sugar mixture into the pan with the remaining cream/milk. Continue heating up to about 180°F. and stir.
STEP 5: The mixture will thicken slightly and will coat the spoon. Fill a large pan with cold water and all the ice cubes from the freezer. Place the ice cream mixing bowl in it. The idea is to cool the mixture quickly so that shortens the time in the freezer or refrigerator.
STEP 6: After about 10 minutes, the ice cream mixture should be close to room temperature. Next, either place the pan in the freezer or refrigerator depending on how much time you have. One hour in the freezer should be good.
STEP 7: Now start up your ice cream maker and pour in the cooled mix. In about a half hour, you should have ice cream ready for the freezer.
Recipe Note
There is a joy in the actual taste of vanilla ice cream that does not come from knowing the chemical formula of vanilla. There is a joy, an inherent aliveness in the body that you can experience if you pay attention to your body. But if you live up in your head, in your words all the time, you don't notice it.
