Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it's almost simmering. Do not boil!
2
Add the dried lavender flowers and honey, and stir well. Let it steep for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender flowers.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and fluffy. Slowly drizzle in a small amount of the warm milk mixture to temper the yolks, preventing them from curdling.
5
Pour the yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. It's ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
6
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool completely.
7
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir it with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this for 3-4 hours.
9
Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
