Fresh blueberries

Fresh squeezed lemon juice

from 1 lemon

Sugar 

3/4 cup

Water

2 cups

Wash blueberries. Place them into a shallow pan. Put in all the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower flame and allow to simmer until all the sugar has melted, and some of the blueberries spilt open.

Pour into a bowl and allow to cool. Pour blueberry mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.

MAKING THE ICE CREAM

Fresh milk  200ml    Whipping cream  350mls   Sugar syrup  1 cup

Pour all ingredients into ice cream maker bucket. Add in blueberry mixture. Mix Well.

Taste the mixture. Add more sugar syrup accordingly.

Remember that it should taste slightly sweeter than what you think is ‘just right’.Or else once it is frozen, it will taste bland. Follow though with your ice cream makers instructions.

Spoon into individual serving containers, and chill at least 2 hours before serving.

You should temper the ice cream by allowing it to stand for 5 t0 10 minutes before eating. This will allow the full flavour our the ice cream to come through.
