Como fazer Lemon Verbena Ice Cream From A French Country Herb Garden

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup packed fresh lemon verbena leaves. Gently bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the leaves to infuse and release their vibrant lemon flavor.
Remove from heat and let the infusion steep for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a more potent flavor.
Strain the infusion through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the leaves to extract all the flavorful liquid. Discard the leaves.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the strained lemon verbena infusion into the cream mixture. Stir well to combine.
Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up completely.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh lemon verbena leaves (optional).
