HONEY LAVENDER ICE CREAM
Serves: 6
1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup
half-and-half 1 tablespoon dried lavender leaves (pesticide-free) 5
large egg yolks 5 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon Benedictine liqueur
Make ice cream: Bring cream, half-and-half and lavender just to a
boil in a heavy saucepan. Pour through a fine sieve into a measuring cup.
Whisk together yolks, honey, and Benedictine in a bowl, then add hot cream
mixture in a slow stream, whisking. Pour custard into pan and cook over
moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened and a
thermometer registers 175 degrees F. (do not let boil). Pour custard through a
fine sieve into a clean bowl and cool. Chill, covered, until cold, at least 2
hours. Freeze in an ice-cream maker to manufacturer's instructions.
