ALTERNATE TO LAVENDER OIL
"We serve lavender ice cream every Plant Day to appreciative oohs and ahs.
We only recommend Nichols Northwest lavender oil, for we know it to be of
the highest purity. This novel easy dessert provides merry entertainment as
friends guess the flavor."
Mince ginger; if it is hard to handle, sprinkle with a little sugar. Place
slightly softened ice cream in the chilled bowl of a heavy duty mixer or
food processor with ginger and a single drop of lavender oil. Mix until
flavors are blended, taste and add an additional drop if you want a more
intense flavor. Place ice cream in covered container and refreeze for at
least one hour before serving.
ALTERNATIVE TO LAVENDER OIL: Add fresh lavender blossoms and sugar to
whipping cream. In a small saucepan slowly heat, not to boiling, but hot to
the touch. Remove from heat and allow to steep and cool for 15 minutes.
Strain and chill and add to ice cream as described above.
