- Leaves are measured by "hardpacking:" press down in the measuring c. with your fingers
- In a heavy 2-qt saucepan or possibly double boiler over medium-low heat, stir and heat the cream, lowfat milk, and sugar till the sugar dissolves. Don't boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly. While whisking, pour 1 c. of the warm cream mix into the bowl, then pour the egg mix back into the saucepan and place over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon (do not let the mix boil; it could curdle) for about 8 min, or possibly till it begins to thicken and coats the spoon. To test for doneness, dip a metal spoon into the mix and run your finger across the back. The custard is done when your finger leaves a clear, clean trail. A candy thermometer should read 175-180 degrees F.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Stir in the lemon peel, lemon juice, and hard-packed lemon herbs into the warm ice-cream base.
- Cover and refrigeratein the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (the longer it is refrigerated, the stronger the flavor will be).
- Strain the mix and add in the minced lemon balm leaves for color. Pour the mix into an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
