How to make the recipe Homemade Lemon Ice Cream

1. In a large bowl, combine the milk, liquid cream, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Peel the lemons and remove the seeds. Cut the peels and mix them with the milk and cream mixture.
3. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add the egg mixture to the milk and cream mixture, and stir until very well combined.
4. Place the resulting mixture in a pot and heat over medium heat, constantly stirring with a hand whisk until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Place the mixture in a container and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.
6. Once the mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream machine and follow the machine's instructions until the ice cream is ready. If you do not have an ice cream machine, put the mixture in a container and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until it is solid. This will help evenly distribute the texture and prevent the formation of ice crystals.
7. Serve the fresh lemon ice cream and enjoy its refreshing citrus flavor.
