Sugar Syrup

Ice Cream Base
  1. In a bowl, whisk together the yolks and egg and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine your cream, lemon zest, cinnamon, cloves, and orange blossom water. Place over medium heat and bring just to a simmer. While constantly whisking, slowly stream the hot cream into the eggs.
  3. Once combined, return the mixture back over medium heat. Keep stirring the mixture with a rubber spatula until it starts to thicken and coat the spatula, around 170F. Mix in the syrup and stir until combined.
  4. Strain the mixture and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold.
  5. Churn the ice cream according to manufacturers’ instructions. Once it's finished churning, fold in the chopped pistachios, orange, and lemon peel. Freeze until solid.
