How-to

In a medium saucepan, bring the cream, milk, and orange zest to a boil over medium-low heat
In a separate bowl, ribbon the egg yolks, sugar, and honey
Once the cream mixture has boiled, remove from the heat and temper in the egg mixture. Bring back to heat and cook until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon (nappé stage). This should take about 5-6 minutes
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and orange juice
Strain into a sealable container. Let cool, and chill in fridge overnight to let the flavors meld
Spin in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions
Transfer to a sealable container & freeze for at least 4 hours before serving
