How to Make Rose Petal Ice Cream

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the rose petals, milk, and sugar over low heat for about 5 minutes. Do not boil.
  2. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes to allow the rose flavor to infuse.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the petals to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the petals.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg yolks until light and frothy.
  5. Slowly whisk the warm rose milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring the yolks are tempered and don't curdle.
  6. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly (it should coat the back of a spoon). Do not boil.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water and vanilla extract.
  8. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  10. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden further before serving.
