2 tbs instant coffee granules
6 egg yolks
1 tbs vanilla extract

7
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
8
Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container.
9
Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming.
10
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
11
Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until frozen (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
12
Transfer to plastic container and place in the freezer for a few hours before serving.
13
Serving: take it out of the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving, or longer, so it comes to the right scooping temperature.
14
Easy suggestion: ice cream is best served in chilled glass or porcelain bowls. Scoop it with a hot, but dry, ice-cream spoon (soak it in boiling water, then wipe dry).
