The lively flavor of this ice is a perfect accompaniment to fruit salad. The key to its smooth texture is making a ginger "tea," then combining it with the remaining ingredients, rather than simply incorporating pieces of ginger into the custard mixture.
Coconut Ice Milk
Use 2 1/2 cups canned Thai coconut milk and 1 cup milk instead of the quantities of water and milk above. Reduce the ginger to 2 teaspoons. Omit the lemon zest.
