Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 cups heavy cream -- or whipping cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1 vanilla bean -- split
6 egg yolks
6 1/8 ounces caster sugar -- 3/8 pound
1 tbsp dried zaatar -- wild thyme, sesame seed, spice mix
3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds -- (optional)

Place the cream and milk in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat, mix in the zaatar and set aside for 10 minutes to infuse.
Place the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until pale.
Strain the milk to remove the zaatar
Carefully pour the milk over the eggs, then return to a clean saucepan.
Cook over low heat, continuously stirring, for about five minutes until it is slightly thickened and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
Set aside to cool, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place custard in a plastic container in the freezer until frozen at the edges. Remove from freezer. Beat with an electric beater. Re-freeze. Repeat this process two more times. Add the sesame seeds in the last time you beat the ice cream (Alternatively, churn in an ice-cream machine according to the manufacturer's directions and add the sesame seeds as the ice cream is beginning to freeze),

Makes a generous 2 1/2 cups (about 5 one-half cup servings)

ChupaNote: this is a very rich sweet and savory ice cream.
