How to Make Rose Water Ice Cream

  1. Gently heat 500ml whole milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a simmer.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 100g granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
  3. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over very low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate until completely chilled (at least 4 hours).
  6. Stir in 200ml heavy cream and 2 tablespoons rosewater into the chilled custard.
  7. **If using an ice cream maker:** Churn the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  8. **If not using an ice cream maker:** Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals for a smoother texture.
  9. 30 minutes before serving, transfer the ice cream to the refrigerator to soften slightly.
