In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Remove from heat and stir in the lilac blossoms. Cover the saucepan and steep for 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator to allow the lilac flavor to infuse.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the lilacs to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the solids.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Recipe Notes: Steep the lilac blossoms in the milk mixture for at least an hour, if not overnight, for the most pronounced flavor.

Special Tips:

Serve Lilac Ice Cream with fresh lilacs and honey for an extra burst of flavor.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator before churning to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
