Ingredients:

½ cup heavy cream (or full-fat milk)  

1 tbsp honey  

¼ tsp dried culinary lavender (or ½ tsp lavender syrup)  

¼ tsp vanilla extract — 2 cups ice  

¼ cup salt (coarse or rock salt). 

Instructions:  

1. Infuse the Flavour - Warm the heavy cream briefly (microwave for 10 seconds) and mix in the lavender. Allow to infuse for 5 minutes before straining out the lavender pieces.

2. Mix It Up - Add the honey and vanilla essence to the cream. Pour into a small zip lock bag and seal tightly. 

3. Shake and freeze: Fill a large zip lock bag with ice and salt, then insert the tiny bag inside. Seal it tightly and shake for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and forms creamy ice cream. (Wrap the bag in a towel if it becomes too cold to grasp!)  

4. Enjoy! - Scoop into a bowl, pour with honey, and enjoy your handcrafted flower delight.
