For an even smoother texture, strain the lemon custard through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling. Use organic lemons for the best flavor and zest. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking, depending on how tart you prefer your ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Pour the chilled mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals. Garnish with fresh mint or candied lemon peel for an elegant presentation.
