The idea for me to make the lavender honey ice cream comes from the movie „That’s Complicated”. In one of the scenes, Meryl Streep makes such ice cream for her architect guest. Very inspiring taste for me, as lavender honey is ampong my favorite. Any time I used to go th Provence the lavender honeys was on my purchase list. As it turns out, however, delicious lavender honey can be found in Croatia, especially on the Island Hvar. For the ice cream I used a tiny amount of lavender flowers, brightened thetaste withlemon juice and zest. Yet predominant taste is the lavender honey. Now I am off to maketypically POlish tasting ice cream: salted linden honey.
Enjoy!
