Notes

The prep time includes 4 hours to chill your tea mixture, for best results though prepare the day ahead.

The cook time includes both simmering of your mixture and ice cream churn time.

If you are not able to find the cucumber mojito tea, you can come close to the flavors by using a green ice tea and increasing the amounts of cucumber, mint and lime zest.
