Instructions to make Homemade Lemon Balm (or Mint) Ice Cream:

1. Blend the sugar and the fresh lemon balm/mint together until bright green using a food processor or hand mixer.
2. Add cream, milk, salt and the sugar mixture to a medium pot. Heat and simmer on medium-low until the sugar is completely dissolved (5-10 minutes).
3. Meanwhile whisk the egg yolks together in a bowl. Whisking constantly, gradually whisk in 1/3 of the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the eggs.
4. Then pour the contents of the bowl back into the pot with the rest of the cream and milk.
5. Heat again on medium-low and gently cook the mixture until it's thick enough to coat a back of the spoon (do not boil!). This will make a custard.
6. You'll know it's done if you run your finger through the custard on the back of the spoon, and it leaves a clean streak like in the photo. You can also measure by temperature - it should be around 170°F/77°C.
7. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let the lemon balm/mint steep in hot custard for 30 minutes.

9. Let cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
