Ingredients

  • 1 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp light agave nectar
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • zest of one lemon
  • juice of one lemon

Instructions

  • Simmer milk, sugar, and agave in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved.
    1 cup skim milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3 tbsp light agave nectar
  • Add the buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the mixture in the saucepan and mix together. Place mixture in a freezer for 20-30 minutes to chill. Personally, I use a Cuisinart countertop ice cream maker. If you have a different model, follow your manufacturer's instructions.
    2 cups buttermilk, juice of one lemon, zest of one lemon
  • Pour in ice cream freezer and freeze for 20 minutes. If you want a hard freeze, place in an airtight container and put in your deep freezer for three hours to achieve a nice, scoopable consistency.
