Peach and Lavender Ice Cream

The peaches have to be juicy and ripe for this recipe. I cook half the peaches in the custard and the other half I fold in at the end. It adds more peach flavor this way. I always refrigerate the base overnight before churning it into ice cream. This really makes for a creamier base and it also give the flavors a chance to develop.
