How to Make Lavender And Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and lavender buds. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and let steep for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger lavender flavor. The longer it steeps, the more pronounced the lavender taste will be.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the lavender buds.
  4. Stir in the vanilla bean paste (or extract).
  5. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further before serving. Enjoy!
