Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine honey, heavy cream, whole milk, and fresh dandelion petals. Stir well and heat until simmering, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat, cover, and let infuse for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the petals.
  4. Whisk together egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour in the strained cream mixture while whisking.

  6. Transfer custard to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on surface, and chill for at least four hours.
  7. Pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to instructions for 20-25 minutes.
  8. Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze until firm before serving.
