Muscat-Honey Ice Cream
Measure milk, cream and honey into large, heavy saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into pan and add pod; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce.
In a large bowl, beat sugar and egg yolks together until light. Add 1/3 of hot cream mixture to sugar and yolk mixture, whisking until combined. Add yolk and cream mixture back into saucepan with remaining hot cream mixture. Cook at medium heat for 1 minute, whisking constantly, until mixture coats back of a spoon. Remove from heat and add reduced Muscat wine; allow to stand for 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into clean bowl; chill. Then, freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s directions.
