    3       oz           Lavender leaves and flowers

   In a saucepan, slowly heat milk to approximately 200
   F.  Remove from fire and add lavender.  Allow to steep
   for 15 minutes.  Strain milk through cheesecloth while
   warm.  Add crystallized ginger and sugar to milk.
   Place egg yolks into a small bowl; then put half the
   mixture from saucepan into the bowl to blend.  Stir
   mixture with a spoon and pour back into the saucepan.
   Place over low heat and cook until mixture is
   approximately 200 F.  Add 2 cups cold heavy whipping
   cream and place into refrigerator until well chilled.
   Process in any ice cream machine.  During the last few
   minutes of ice cream processing, sprinkle individual
   lavender flowers (stripped from lower heads) into the
   ice cream so they will be whipped into it. Makes 1
   quart
