Let steep for 30 minutes

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and salt until light in color

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight

Meanwhile, prepare the honey-sesame brittle by heating the honey in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 300F 150C on a candy thermometer, about 5-7 minutes

Stir in the sesame seeds and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden brown and fragrant

Quickly pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it into a thin layer using a spatula

Let it cool completely, then break it into small pieces

Once the ice cream base is chilled, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions

During the last few minutes of churning, add the honey-sesame brittle pieces and let them incorporate into the ice cream

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm

Serve the ginger ice cream topped with additional pieces of honey-sesame brittle
