* Magee said she'd probably use more.
In pan, simmer 1/2 c. water, 1/3 c. sugar and fresh ginger for 3-4
minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool 5 minutes. (This is
called a simple syrup.)
In another pan, scald milk and cream (don't boil). Remove from heat and
stir in remaining sugar and the syrup. Set aside 15 minutes to allow
flavors blend.
Strain ginger solids from milk mixture. Whisk in egg yolks and
crystallized ginger. Return to heat (use either a double boiler or heat
diffuser.) Heat gently, stirring constantly, until it becomes a thin
custard. Don't allow it to simmer or boil. It should coat the back of a
spoon.
Cool mixture and freeze according to your machine's instructions.
