How to Make Lavender Honey Ice Cream
- In a medium saucepan, gently heat the honey, cream, and lavender buds over low heat. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse its delicate flavor into the cream mixture.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the lavender buds to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the lavender buds.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn 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 harden further.
- Serve and enjoy! Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
