It was so easy...
Pick about 8 sprigs of Lavender, and separate the flowers into a small bowl
Get out your honey, corn starch, and eggs
Measure 6 tbsp of honey, 4 egg yolks, and 2 tsp of cornstarch into a bowl, add a little milk, and whisk. In a heavy saucepan, bring the rest of the milk (a little less than 2 cups) to a boil.
Add the lavender and the egg yolk mixture to the milk and cook very gently, stirring until it thickens.
Keep stirring...it's not the quickest thing ever!
Pour the custard into a bowl, cover tightly with waxed paper pressed onto the surface of the custard,and refrigerate until very cold. Stir 2 c. whipping cream into the custard and pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. 
Churn it until it holds its shape, then scoop it out and serve! 
We thought it would be good with fresh blueberries...and it was!
***Sheri and I thought this ice cream was a little bland. The flavor was very mild. If you like a sweeter ice cream, you could add some sugar or some more honey to taste, or sprinkle it with something sweet! Of course, Barry thought it was perfect just the way it was!!***
