Join James Beard Award-winning writer and tea expert Max Falkowitz for a lively, hands-on evening of tea-infused ice cream and elevated frozen dessert techniques. The night begins with a live demonstration where Max shares his approach to building ice cream from scratch, diving into different base styles, whether egg-based custards or lighter, dairy-forward alternatives, and how each interacts with single-origin teas for optimal flavor, all while focusing on elevating your ice cream. Guests will then participate in an interactive ice cream-making experience where they will create two different ice cream bases to take home. The evening includes: • Hands-on ice cream making experience guided by Max Falkowitz - Exploration of different ice cream base styles (including egg-based custards and other variations) - Guests creating two different ice cream bases to take home - A tea-inspired ice cream bar and curated tea-inspired bites & beverages to enjoy throughout the evening - A Q&A covering tea sourcing, flavor development, and frozen dessert techniques - A tea sample from the company In Pursuit of Tea About Max Falkowitz Max Falkowitz is a James Beard Award-winning food and drink writer who has covered the world of tea for more than a decade.
