Ice cream ratios

Have figured out (finally) how to make decent ice cream and would now like to experiment with funky flavours. Just wondering if anyone has tips for the amount of liquid/semi-liquid extras I can add without messing with the texture too much?

You don't want too much liquid or it will get icy. What did you have in mind?

The best thing to do where applicable is to infuse the cream/milk with a flavor, eg cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, tea leaves, mint leaves, you get the idea. That will not affect the texture.

With liquor, be careful- you can add liquor but not too much- remember that liquor won't freeze, which is why you can put a bottle of vodka in the freezer and leave it there. So if you put too much liquor in, it will never freeze. E.g. if you make Bailey's or Kahlua ice cream or something.

Good luck and let us know what you end up making!
