Directions:
In the carafe of a Vitamix or other high-powered blender, add 1 cup of the cream, all of the egg yolks, and the salt.
Combine the sugar with the rest of the cream in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and prevent it from scorching. Remove from the heat.
Start the blender and turn to high. Slowly stream in the hot cream and sugar mixture. Use a probe thermometer to monitor the temperature as it blends.
Continue blending until the temperature reaches 170°F. Stop the blender and immediately pour the contents into a bowl.
Add the Herbes de Provence and whisk to combine. Steep for 10 minutes. Stir in the buttermilk and cool over an ice bath until chilled, stirring occasionally.
Freeze in an ice cream machine.
