Ingredients

250 ml	full fat milk
500 ml	double cream
6 sprig(s)	thyme, fresh, use 1 or 2 more for a more intense flavour
4 large	eggs, yolks only
180 ml	honey

Instructions

Place the milk, cream and thyme into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside for about 20 minutes. Strain and return mixture to the pan. Discard the thyme.

Whisk the yolks in a bowl and add the cream mixture a little at a time, whisking continuously. After about a third of the cream mixture has been added, mix in the honey and follow with the remaining cream. Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook gently over a low heat, stirring constantly until sufficiently thick to coat the back of a spoon. Do not allow to simmer. Set aside to cool completely.

Chill in the refrigerator and then freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturers’ instructions. Serve immediately or store in freezer in a closed container until required.
