Instructions
- 1 Heat milk and lavender in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Remove from heat; infuse lavender for about 20 minutes. Remove and discard flowers.
- 2 Beat sugar and egg yolks together in a large bowl; whisk in lavender-infused milk, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling eggs. Pour mixture back into the saucepan; heat over low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Transfer mixture to a bowl; chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
- 3 Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight lidded container; cover the surface with plastic wrap and seal. Freeze ice cream at least 2 hours to overnight.
