Honey Lavender Ice Cream

What’s better than homemade ice cream….I can’t think of anything at this moment.

Here’s what I did:

Ingredients:

Ice cream starter kit (the starter kit will give you the instructions for the amount of liquid (normally it will be the combination of two: milk, half-and-half, heavy cream)
Dried lavender (here is the one I use)
Your favorite honey

Directions, from an ice cream starter kit.

It’s important to read all directions before you start.
Place the liquid (like I mentioned above, normally it will be the combination milk, half-and-half, heavy cream) in a small to medium pot (depending on how much you are making).
Add lavender and honey
- For every three cups of liquid, use 2 tablespoon of lavender. (Example: 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups of half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons of lavender.
- For every three cups of liquid, use 1/3 cup of honey
Bring to a simmer
Remove from heat
Steep for 30 minutes
- It’s important to know the longer you steep the lavender the stronger the lavender flavor. You only want a mild lavender flavor; lavender can become overpowering very quickly.
Place the liquid in an air-tight container and return to the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours. You want the liquid to be very cold before starting your ice cream.
Once chilled, follow the directions on your ice cream kit to complete.

If you don’t want to buy an ice cream starter, here are a few no-cook (so easy) recipes you could use also:

I hope you enjoy. Cheers.
