Chill. Bring cream plus milk to a simmer over a mid-sized flame in a heavy mid-sized saucepan. Tip in lemongrass, cover, shut off heat, plus let steep for 2 hours when dairy begins to bubble. Pour through a fine sieve in a 1 quart liquid measure. Discard lemongrass. Toss minced kumquats with sugar in a bowl (1/2 cup) till sugar begins to dissolve while dairy is steeping. Leave to sit on counter for 10 minutes, toss again, next chill overnight. In another heavy mid-sized saucepan, beat egg yolks and leftover 1/2 cup sugar together till lighter in color and a little thickened. Slowly pour in strained dairy, beating the whole time, around 1/4 cup after another till half of dairy is integrated into eggs. Tip in leftover dairy and beat to mix. Cook over a mid-sized flame, beating often, till a custard forms on the back of a spoon plus a finger swiped across this back leaves a clean line. Mix in salt till it tastes right, next strain custard in an airtight container plus put in the fridge overnight. The next day, churn ice cream according in order to manufacturer's instructions. Tip off the liquid kumquats off syrup, reserving syrup for another use. Move ice cream to an airtight container plus quickly fold in kumquats. Put in the fridge in freezer for at least 4 hours before serving.
