  • In a heavy pan over moderate heat, warm all ingredients until tiny bubbles are just beginning to form around the edges. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
  • Strain cream mixture through a sieve, discarding lavender.
  • Cover custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours.
  • Freeze custard in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions. Pack into a container, cover tightly, and freeze until firm.

    • Beverage pairing: Casta Diva Cosecha Miel Moscatel, Spain. Muscat is a grape strong with floral perfume, which makes a nice liaison with the lavender in the recipe. The wine also brings flavors of honey and ginger, which should make for a complex, almost savory pairing with the ice cream.
