Sea Salt: Tips and Tricks
Different Types of Sea Salts
There are many different types of sea salts.
Each type of sea salt varies in saltiness from the other types.
When I made this recipe, I used French Grey Sea Salt, but regular sea salt works great too.
Personal Preference
Also keep in mind that everyone’s preferences are different, you may prefer a more salty flavor or you may prefer a less salty one.
Add sea salt according to your taste preference.
Adding the Sea Salt
The amount of salt that you want to add to your ice cream is dependent on the type of sea salt you add and your own personal preference.
Start with a little less salt than the recipe calls for.
Don’t forget that the sea salt needs to dissolve completely to affect the taste.
Combine well and allow the sea salt to dissolve and permeate the ice cream base.
Then taste to see if you want to add more.
Go on try this ice cream flavor! I think you’ll be happy that you did!
Serving Tip
Depending on the flavor that you want to bring out – place a rolled wafer cookie or a pretzel stick in each bowl of ice cream.
