• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup dried chamomile flowers
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and dried chamomile flowers.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
3. Strain out the chamomile flowers using a fine-mesh sieve, returning the cream mixture to the saucepan.
