Why I Love This Recipe

This is a great recipe for summer or spring. Your home will smell delightful! In the movie "it's Complicated," Jane (Meryl Streep) is a mother with three grown kids who also owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant. This is one of her recipes.


Ingredients You'll Need

2 Cups milk
2/3 Cup cream
3 egg yolks
3/4 Cup sugar
1 Cup fresh lavender blossoms
Heavy sauce pan
Bowl for combining yolks and sugar
Strainer if desired
Ice cream maker of your choice.


Directions

Combine milk, cream and lavender flowers in a heavy saucepan.


Gently warm mixture on medium heat, until foamy.


In separate bowl, mix eggs until well blended and thick.


Add sugar to eggs, stirring well.


Strain milk/cream, to remove lavender blossoms, if desired.


Add 1/2 cup of warm milk/cream mixture to eggs, blend thoroughly.


Finally, add this egg mixture to the remaining milk/cream mixture to the pan.


Cool completely in refrigerator, before pouring into your favorite ice cream maker.
