Method

For the “Burnt” Sugar Caramel: Weigh out the sugar for the caramel along with the water and lemon juice.
Combine the milk and cream from the ice cream base in a pot that can fit the ingredients comfortably and that has enough room to expand when the hot sugar is added (typically about twice the volume of the liquid); place over medium-high heat.
