Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine milk and lemon zest. Place over medium-low heat just until steaming; do not boil. Remove from heat, cover, and allow mixture to infuse for about 20 minutes.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Strain infused milk into a pitcher, then whisk it into yolk mixture.

3. Pour mixture into a clean saucepan, and place over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it forms a custard thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Do not overheat!

4. Cool mixture by placing bottom of pan in several inches of cold water; give it a stir. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. Freeze in an ice cream maker.

Personal Notes:
This recipe was published in the New York Times in 2002. Mom used to complain about how much work it was, while admitting that it was worth it. She would often make it when people were coming over for dinner as a special treat.
