Mint Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
This is great ice cream... nothing like the fake green stuff sold in stores.

3½ cups milk
1 cup packed freshly picked mint leaves
4 eggs
1¼ cups sugar
2 cups cream
½ tsp salt
a couple of chocolate candy bars, finely chopped

In a 2-quart saucepan, combine milk and mint leaves. Cook over medium heat about 10 minutes and then simmer for about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Wring leaves to extract all liquid. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl about 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly blend in sugar in three smaller measurements and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in cream and salt. Combine with cooled mint-flavored milk.

Transfer to ice cream maker. The White Mountain ice cream maker we own will freeze the ice cream in about 25 minutes (ymmv). Remove frozen ice cream from ice cream maker, add chopped chocolate bars and mix to combine, then place in freezer to harden.
