A new television show, "Elementary," is due to come out this fall and this recipe, with one foot out of summer and into fall feels appropriate. Maybe this is not the earl grey ice cream that Sherlock Homes and Watson might have had on a Saturday afternoon stroll, but the new series and characters got me excited about modern twists on classics. The flavor of earl grey is at once strong and subtle, but I thought the ice cream needed punch, something to fit the character of the show's new heroes, so I added swirls of blackberry ice cream for zing and visual interest. I modified Jeni Britton's base (less butterfat and less sugar) to let the earl grey flavor stand out.
