Italian ice cream recipe with pastis using Magic Mix

📍 Ingredients:

✔ 1 L of prepared pastis (well diluted, otherwise it is a near attempt at alcoholic coma)
✔ 4 pods of Magic Mix (approximately 300g)
✔ An Italian ice cream machine
✔ A Southern soul and a bathing suit, as it will refresh severely!

👨‍🍳 Preparation:

1️⃣ Prepare 1 L of well-measured pastis
If 1L of pastis seems excessive, remember that it is a dilution with water. Adhere to the traditional Marseille ratio: one volume of pastis to five volumes of water. Adjust according to your preferences, while keeping in mind that balance is crucial for the success of your Italian ice cream.

2️⃣ Add 4 pods of Magic Mix (approx. 300g)
This is the stage where the transformation occurs. The Magic Mix, specially designed for Italian ice creams, will give your preparation the characteristic smooth texture. Ensure to incorporate the ice cream mix well to avoid lumps and achieve a uniform consistency.

3️⃣ Place in the machine and pray to Saint Ricard 🙏
Pour your preparation into the Italian ice cream machine and let it churn. The alcohol content is a crucial factor: an excess would hinder the setting. Scrupulously respect the proportions to achieve a perfect texture. The ice cream machine will transform your mixture into a delicious pastis-flavored Italian ice cream, combining freshness and anise flavor.
