1/2 TEASPOON VANILLA ESSENCE (DEPENDS ON TASTE)
6 EGG YOLKS

How to make the ice cream:

SLOWLY COMBINE THE CREAM MILK AND SUGAR IN ANOTHER POT AND ADD THE VANILLA ESSENCE.
BRING TO A SLIGHT BOIL (BE CAREFUL NOT TO BOIL TO MUCH) AND REMOVE FROM HEAT.
BEAT THE EGGS AND SLOWLY BEGIN TO WHISK INTO CREAM MIXTURE.
SLOWLY HEAT THE MIXTURE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS UNTIL IT THICKENS.
REMOVE FROM HEAT AND STRAIN INTO A CONTAINER.
CHILL FOR 2 HOURS.
WHISK IN THE GUINNESS REDUCTION AND BLEND WELL THEN SERVE TO AN ADORING AUDIENCE!
