Amazing ice cream! Made exactly as written, except I only had 7 large eggs. However, 7 were definitely enough. I tried the ice cream after the 6 hours freezer time, and it was very, very good! However, the taste was more pronounced and yet more subtle at the same time, after a day in the freezer. It freezes very hard. The ice cream is rich and creamy. I almost wanted it to have a slight lavender twinge, so next time I might add a drop of food coloring, just for effect. Or not - it needs no improvement! I did want to add that my base curdled a bit toward the end of stove time, and I was really afraid I had ruined the ice cream. However, once it was churned there was no trace of curdling - it was perfectly smooth.
