Winter Ice Cream

Yes, it is winter, but I made a batch of ice cream this weekend anyway. I wanted to use the ginger-root which had been part of my box of assorted fruit-and-vegetables. I don't like putting ginger in savoury dishes (well, not very much) and using a whole ginger root would have been far too much. But I remembered this Ginger Ice Cream recipe which I had made note of a while back, and I thought this would be an opportunity to make it.
