Ingredients:

• 3 large egg yolks and 1 large egg

• 2/3 cup granulated sugar

• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)

• 1 Tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)

• dash of salt

• 1 tablespoon dried lavender (optional)

• 6 tablespoons unsalted room temp butter

Directions

1. Put 2 inches of water into a pan and place a glass mixing bowl inside to make your own double boiler. Bring water to a boil then turn down to a low-medium simmer.

2. Put your eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, sugar, and lavender (optional) into the glass bowl and whisk continuously.

3. Continue whisking until it starts to thicken (around 10 minutes), if it is not thickening continue to stir and turn up the heat slightly.

4. Once thickened, remove rom heat and cover with plastic wrap. Let chill in fridge for as long as you'd like! It will continue to thicken while cooling.

This can be stored in the fridge for up to 10 days. Enjoy!
