Instructions
- Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy.
- Heat the milk and cream in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until hot (but not boiling!) ~ you will see steam rising. Ladle 1/2 cup of the hot liquid into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to blend. Scrape the contents of the bowl back to the saucepan, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (again, you don't want it to boil.) Stir in the lemon juice, strips of lemon zest, and sea salt.
- Transfer the custard to an airtight container and let cool, then chill for several hours or overnight. If you need to speed up the process you can place in the freezer for faster chilling.
- When your lemon custard base has chilled, remove the strips of lemon zest. Churn according to your ice cream machine's instructions. Then place the soft ice cream into a freezer container, cover, and freeze for several hours to firm up.
- Homemade lemon frozen custard will have the best texture if enjoyed within a day or two. If it becomes hard to scoop leave it out on the counter for a short bit to soften up before serving.

Notes
- *Wash and dry your lemon first. I use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel, trying to get mostly the yellow part (the white pith underneath the yellow is bitter.)
