Instructions

  1. Add the lavender and milk to the pot.
  2. Zest the lemons using a grater, and add the zest to the pot.
  3. Squeeze the lemons once they have been zested. Collect the juice in a dish.
  4. Measure the quantity of juice and add the associated quantity of baking soda.Refer to the ratio under 'How to Add Lemon Juice to Milk Without Curdling' for the exact quantity.
  5. Add the baking soda to the lemon juice. It will immediately bubble. After a few minutes the effervescence will disappear.
  6. Pour the neutralized lemon juice into the pot. Add the salt.
  7. Put the pot over a medium heat and allow the milk mixture to warm on a low simmer for 15 minutes.
  8. Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place the yolks in a bowl. Add the sugar and beat well for about 3-5 minutes.
  9. After the lavender and lemon infused milk has simmered, blend it using a stick blender, until smooth. 
  10. Add the lavender and lemon infused milk very slowly to the beaten egg and sugar mixture.
  11. Once all the milk has been added to the eggs, return the entire mixture, now called a custard, back to the pot and heat it to a temperature around 170 degrees F. 
  12. Add the cream to a bowl. Pour the egg custard slowly into the cream. The cream helps to cool the custard.
  13. Optional step is to add more fresh lavender buds to the egg custard to provide flecks in the ice cream.
  14. Pour the cooled custard into an ice cream machine.
  15. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your particular ice cream machine.
