Ice Cream Base Preparation
- In a large pot, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until fluffy and pale, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously.
- Place the pot over medium heat and stir constantly until it reaches a slight boil, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blood orange extract and orange food coloring.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Licorice Sauce Preparation
- In a separate pot, combine water and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Once golden, mix in butter until melted, then add milk and anise extract. Stir until smooth. If desired, add black food coloring, then cool.
- Refrigerate the licorice sauce covered for at least 2 hours.
Combining
- Pour the chilled ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to instructions, about 20-30 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
- Layer the churned ice cream with ribbons of cooled licorice sauce in a storage container. Alternate to create a striped effect.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for firmer texture before serving.
- Serve scoops of Tiger Tail Ice Cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy!

Notes
Whisk constantly to prevent scrambling; allow both mixtures to cool before churning for the best texture. Adjust sweetness as needed.
