Ingredients
- 2 heaped tablespoon ground coffee
- 200 ml whole milk should end up with a total of 125ml of coffee-milk
- 3 egg yolks
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Culinary Lavender start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to your liking
- 250 ml heavy cream cold
Instructions
- Combine coffee grounds and milk in a glass container and give it a stir.
- Cover with a lid and place into the fridge overnight.
- The next day, use a French press to extract the coffee milk. (Discard the spent coffee grounds).
- Measure out the coffee milk and top off with extra milk to a total of 125 ml (the coffee grounds may have absorbed some milk).
- Whisk together 3 egg yolks along with sugar and vanilla extract in a heat-safe bowl.
- Heat up the coffee milk in a small saucepan until scalding hot and add in the lavender.
- Remove from heat and let it steep for 5-10 minutes.
- Strain out the lavender using a sieve (save it for later) and return the infused coffee milk to the saucepan over medium heat.
- While whisking the egg yolks, gradually stream in the hot coffee milk slowly (tempering the egg yolks) until all of the coffee milk is incorporated with the eggs.
- Transfer the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk over medium heat until thickened.
- It's ready once the mixture can coat the back of a spoon/spatula and you can draw a line through it.
- Pour the custard mixture through a sieve into the cold heavy cream and give it a stir.
- Add the lavender back into the ice cream base (optional), cover and chill in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours.
- Pour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
