Prepare the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and the fresh ginger slices, setting it over low heat.
-
Heat Mixture: Gently heat the mixture until bubbles begin to form, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes. Important: Do not let the mixture come to a boil.
-
Remove Ginger: Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the ginger slices to avoid any overpowering flavors.

Churn the Ice Cream: Transfer the cold mixture to your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes.
