Instructions

1.	In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until it comes to a gentle simmer.
2.	In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour a ladleful of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
3.	Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking continuously until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
4.	Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and rose water. Let it cool completely before transferring to an ice cream maker and churning according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
5.	Garnish with fresh rose petals and mint leaves (optional) before serving.
