Method

Step 1
Heat cream, milk and lemon thyme in a medium saucepan over a low heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula until it just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover the surface of the mixture with cling film and leave to infuse for 30 minutes.
-
Step 2
Once the cream has infused, whisk the sugar and egg yolks in a large bowl until pale and sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Step 3
Put cream mixture back over a low heat and heat again to just simmering. Pour one-quarter of the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture through a sieve and whisk well before pouring in the rest. Remove and discard the lemon thyme.
-
Step 4
Pour gelato base into saucepan and cook over low heat for 6–8 minutes, whisking or stirring constantly until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and is the consistency of double cream, or until the temperature reaches 74–79°C on an instant-read thermometer.
