This Raspberry Green Tea Infused Ice Cream is perfectly tart, sweet, slightly herbal and super creamy. Made with a coconut milk base, it’s also vegan and sweetened with agave nectar.

It’s no secret that we love making homemade ice cream. Especially since going dairy free (almost 9 years ago!), we love experimenting with various flavor combinations and figuring out which base ingredients make for the creamiest possible ice cream.

Homemade ice cream may sound a bit daunting, but with the proper equipment, it’s really only about 10 minutes of hands-on work. Your ice cream machine does all of the heavy lifting - you’ll just have to be patient enough to let it churn!

While we love making classic flavors (like this vegan chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream), it’s way more fun to experiment with more unusual flavors.

Let me clarify - there are some pretty crazy ice cream flavors out there (looking @ you, garlic ice cream). We’ll skip the lobster ice cream (yes, that’s a real thing - in Maine of course), but there are plenty more palatable options that deserve more attention!

Tea-infused ice cream, in particular, is such an easy way to impart a ton of flavor without any complicated processes. Simply infuse the ice cream base with your tea of choice, then continue as usual.

Tea adds so much depth of flavor - it’s subtle, yet commanding. Especially in the case of this raspberry green tea infused ice cream; the herbal green tea flavor is just enough to add that extra “oomph”!

We’re so excited to be partnering with Arbor Teas to bring you this recipe. Arbor Teas is one of those rare companies that’s doing everything they can to be top notch in every way.

Their products are fantastic and high quality (and all USDA-certified organic!). In addition to sourcing the best possible tea, they’re extremely committed to sustainability.

Their facility is solar-powered (how cool!?), they compost as much as possible (even their packaging is backyard compostable!), and they consider sustainability at the forefront of every decision.

In addition to offering a number of traditional tea blends (like Earl Grey, Rooibos & Matcha), Arbor Teas also offers a wide range of unique blends. There’s a little something for everyone - Lychee Black Tea, Pineapple Passion Green Tea, Pomegranate White Tea - you name it!

The Raspberry Green Tea that we used in this recipe is a particular favorite in our house. I love fruity teas that aren’t too sweet, so this one really hits the spot. It’s amazing iced - we’ll be bringing some on the boat this weekend to cool off!

Other ways to infuse recipes with tea

Here are a few ideas to get creative with tea in your cooking:

  • Make chai-infused vegan creme brulee!
  • Infuse a homemade compote or jam with tea. Herbal teas pair especially well with berries!
  • Add brewed black tea or chai to a batch of homemade muffins - perfect for a flavorful snack/breakfast!
  • Experiment with tea-infused cocktails.
