How to make it

  • Bring cream, half-and-half, honey, and lavender just to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, then remove pan from heat. Let steep, covered, 30 minutes.
  • Pour cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and discard lavender. Return mixture to cleaned saucepan and heat over moderate heat until hot.
  • Whisk together eggs and salt in a large bowl, then add 1 cup hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour into remaining hot cream mixture in saucepan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170 to 175°F on thermometer, about 5 minutes (do not let boil).
  • Pour custard through sieve into cleaned bowl and cool completely, stirring occasionally. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.
  • Freeze custard in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

    I have to confess this culinary confectionery would be catching quite the buzz in the beehive of the next ladies busy Baccarat Brunch.
    Laying bets that this can't be beat.
    Thank-you for this lovely Lavender Honey Ice Cream recipe.
    Kind Regards
