On the french fields murmurs the lavender soft on the rhythm of the wind. You get an immediate feeling of summer and this recipe for lavender ice cream certainly fits in.
My lavender is almost dried this year and then I'm always looking to see if I can still use it in any other way than as a garden decoration. Part of my lavender I'm going to air-dry and I will put them into bags that I add to the linen closets. Delicious smells comes free and my clothes got a lavender flavor all year. Or I make bath bombs with it, which I use in my bath.
I also put some lavender in a jar and fill it with sugar. That way I get lavender sugar, which is very tasty in homemade cake or sprinkled on the topping of a cupcake. On my blog you can also find delicious recipes using lavender as apple jelly with lavender, lavender cupcakes and lavender lemonade. And this time, I also used it to make this delicious lavender ice cream.
Because ...
- Dried lavender can taste bitter, use fresh lavender in this recipe.
- if you can get some fresh lavender, it is important to use unsprayed, biological lavender.
- To add an extra lavender flavor, put one lavender flower in 100 grams off sugar and mix everything well for at least 8 hours. The lavender will flavor the sugar.
- you want a very light cream, mix everything well for 3 minutes.
- you want an extra creamy ice, you use mascarpone. You do not want lumps mascarpone and therefore heat everything.
