葡萄柚夏多內冰沙
週四晚到物質女孩家吃相當好吃的手工瑞典肉丸子,甜點是哈根達滋(Haagen Dazs).禮拜五早上上班的路上突然很想念 Bistro Élan 柑橘冰沙或是檸檬冰沙的清爽──恨不得當下就是週末,實驗廚房可以開工.
原本意屬「檸檬羅勒冰沙」,原因是在 Thea Mediterranean 用餐時候,當天沒有選的另一種聽起來也很涼快消暑的冰飲就是羅勒檸檬汁,不曉得做成冰沙是什麼滋味.可惜禮拜五回家太晚,沒有機會買羅勒,而記憶裡在後花園裏的檸檬樹上的那顆檸檬也不見芳蹤.今晨打開冰箱看見那幾顆 VB 媽一直很擔心會被 VB 遺忘的(酸)葡萄柚,乾脆拿它們來加工.
第一步,找出塵封已久的製冰淇淋機.
第二步,煮糖漿.適量的水加上適量的糖在爐子上加熱至適當的溫度,隨時攪拌,到糖全體溶化不見顆粒,離火放冷,此為任何冰沙之糖漿,事先做好,倒入玻璃瓶放在冰箱裡可保存約兩星期.
第三步,擠葡萄柚汁,用小網過濾果泥與籽.
第四步,適量糖漿適量葡萄柚汁適量夏多內酒(chardonnay,少少放一點提升果香,若有小朋友拿著湯匙站在冰淇淋機旁邊流口水就不要放.)徐徐倒入機器內桶,插上插頭,將定時器轉至適當的時間,半小時後再回來察看是否濃纖合度.
吃完優格喝完熱茶,達達──葡萄柚夏多內冰沙──重現江湖的製冰淇淋機完成它的第一項任務.(冰沙的顏色看起來不夠粉嫩,因為家裏沒有白糖以紅糖代替,幸好葡萄柚夠強勢,所以焦糖的味道不顯!──至於「紅糖薑汁桂圓冰沙」的味道,請聽下回分解.)

Oh~~~you got one if these!? Every since I have children, I always want one of these. The one they sell in the supermarket is way too expensive and pumped too much air in.
Is the ice cream good? I did a quick research on TradeMe (New Zealand's popular online auction site, similar to EBay). There is quite a large variety. Some even smaller (I am a fan of small machinery)...

Hi Tank,
I must confess that I have more than one ice cream makers... Some require the bowl to be chilled a head of time (I still keep one bowl in the freezer!) This one has a compressor so it suits an impulsive person (me!) very well.
However, with all the prep and chilling, it still takes more than an hour for ice cream to "form", which is too long of a wait. Since the freezer section in a market has all the flavors imaginable, it might just be easier to drive over and grab some!
