Ingredients
2 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
1 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Tbsp Dried Culinary Lavender Bud
1/4 Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
Add cream, milk, sugar, lavender and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves. Continue to heat until mixture becomes warm and begins to bubble around edges. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 60 minutes while the lavender seeps in. After an hour, strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve and discard the lavender. Add the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 to 60 minutes.
Once it's cold, add the mixture to your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer directions. Freeze at least 4 – 6 hours before serving.
