I wanted to try to make honey lavender ice cream, but don't know where to get edible lavender.
Does anyone know, and have a recipe (I don't have an ice cream maker, is there a recipe that doesn't use one?)?
@thejanith: Lavender jelly sounds interesting, could I get the recipe?
Answer
Don't know if you can make "real" ice cream without and ice cream maker. You could use a blender for more of a slush or smoothie. I have lavender growing in my yard, and don't use garden chemicals so it's organic. Would suggest you go to a health food store, here in CA we have Whole Foods Market, but most communities have health food stores. Tell them you want organic lavender for cooking. Or use Lavender oil that does not say not for internal use. Essential oils are very strong so be careful. Add lavender extract or oil, to suit your taste buds, very little at a time. Start with a recipe from the internet for honey vanilla and go from there.
Here's One: this one has eggs not all vanilla ice cream base needs eggs a matter of choice
Ingredients
* 2 cups milk
* 1 (7 inch) vanilla bean, split lengthwise
* 6 egg yolks
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 3 tablespoons honey
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 cups heavy cream
Or Here's a recipe using Lavender flowers. Many Gadening stores sell the plants or you can order or buy lavender flowers online or locally
Ingredients
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1 cup half-and-half
* 2/3 cup mild honey
* 2 tablespoons dried edible lavender flowers*
* 2 large eggs
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
