Some comments from the cookbook author: "Two major rules for ice cream:
First, it should be full of flavor, so that, for example, ...  caramel ice
cream tastes like caramel.  You should not have to guess the flavor; it
should be evident from the first bite. Second, the texture should be rich
and smooth (the addition of milk prevents it from becoming too heavy)."
Place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.  Add the salt and whisk until
smooth.  Set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan large enough to
eventually hold the milk and cream.  Dissolve the sugar in the water over
low heat. This may take a while. An alternative is to use the microwave,
and then transfer the sugar solution to a saucepan. Increase to high heat
and cook the syrup until it is golden amber colored. While the sugar is
carmelizing, scald the milk and cream.
As soon as the caramel is a golden-amber color, slowly add the milk and
cream, 2 T.  at a time.  Be very careful, as the mixture will bubble up.
Whisk the caramel cream into the eggs.  Strain and refrigerate until cold.
Freeze according to ice cream machine instructions. Yield: 1 quart
