Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, lemon zest, lavender flowers and honey. Heat to a bare simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and cover. Set aside for 15 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly whisk the cream mixture into the yolks, then pour everything back into the saucepan.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom as you stir. While the custard heats, stir in the salt and vanilla extract. If adding coloring, stir in a few drops at a time to reach your desired color (color will lighten approximately in half when churning).
