This week, I had to throw in an especially unique ice cream (and a personal favorite). You may not think of dried lavender as a normal ingredient in the kitchen, but it is a French staple. Lavender adds such a simple and subtle flavor. And accentuated with honey, you may find this ice cream to be a new favorite.
