How to Make Ginger Brew Float

  1. In a medium bowl, gently soften 1 pint of vanilla ice cream at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add 1/4 cup crystallized ginger (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the softened ice cream.
  3. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Place the bowl in the freezer for at least 1 1/2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.
  5. Once firm, scoop the ice cream equally into 4 glasses or dessert bowls.
  6. Slowly pour cold ginger beer into each glass, filling approximately halfway.
  7. You'll need about 2 (12-ounce) bottles of ginger beer total.
  8. Garnish with an extra piece of crystallized ginger and a sprinkle of cardamom (optional).
  9. Enjoy your refreshing Ginger Brew Float immediately!
