Ingredients:

2 handfuls dried camomile flowers (about 80g)
12 egg yolks
225g caster (superfine) sugar
600ml double cream
600ml milk

Method:

Combine the flowers, milk and cream in a large pan and slowly bring to a boil. In the meantime, beat together the egg yolks and sugar in a large heat-proof bowl until pale and creamy.

Slowly pour the boiling cream mix into the egg mix, beating briskly all the while. Continue beating until the custard thickens. Test by tasting; if the camomile flavour is strong enough for you then strain the mixture. If the flavour is not intense enough then set aside for 30 minutes to infuse before straining.

Transfer the custard to your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions before freezing.
