How to Make Lemon Ginger Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the grated ginger, lemon zest, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool completely.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and egg yolks until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk the cooled ginger-lemon mixture into the cream mixture.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
  6. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
  7. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to harden further.
  8. Serve and enjoy! Garnish with extra lemon zest or candied ginger for an elegant touch.
