Amazing flavor, I added mini chocolate chips! I loved it, the children and men in my family didn't particularly care for it. Women respond differently to various scents/flavors than men. Found lavendar at my local Purple Shutter Herbs in Winooski, VT.

This was my first time making lavender ice cream and I was very unimpressed. I made it for the whole family for my birthday and not one person enjoyed it.

I made this today, and it was my first time ever making ice cream. I added 1/4 C. of honey at the first part, and decreased the sugar a bit. It turned out wonderfully light tasting, very creamy and delicious. I used dried french lavender buds from San Francisco Herb Co. Even my children (ages 2 and 5 liked it and asked for more!!
