- As soon as possible after picking the blossoms, use a pair of sharp scissors to snip the yellow portions of the petals from the green calyxes, leaving the bitter white bottoms of the petals still attached to the calyxes. Discard the calyxes.
- Heat the water, sugar, and honey in a small saucepan. As soon as the syrup comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and stir in the yellow petals. Cover and let steep for at least one hour. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve. Stir in the lemon juice and chill. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
