Ingredients

2 tbsp	dried lavender
6 large	eggs, yolks only
125 g	caster sugar
1 tsp	vanilla extract
250 ml	milk
250 ml	double cream

Instructions

In a heavy-based pan bring the cream and milk gently to a boil. Remove from heat and add the lavender. Cover the pan and allow to steep for about 30 minutes. Pour mixture trough a fine sieve into a bowl and discard the solids.

In a small bowl whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and pale. Add a little of the warm milk and whisk vigorously. Return the yolk mixture to the main cream mixture and return to the pan.

Heat gently on a medium heat until the mixture thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Strain the custard through a fine meshed sieve to remove any undissolved sugar crystals. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. If time is of the essence, plunge the pan into a bowl or sink part-filled with iced water.

Remove custard from refrigerator and pour into ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturers’ instructions. Pour or spoon finished ice cream into a covered freezer-proof container and freeze until required, up to 2 days. Remove about 10 minutes in advance of serving to soften in a slightly warm place.

If wished, it may be served directly from the ice cream maker.
