Chamomile Lemon Ice Cream with Honeycomb Toffee

This flavor is inspired by the fact that I get sick all the time. A cup of chamomile tea with lemon and honey hits the spot when I’m on the couch, under a blanket, binge watching The Crown. I found dried chamomile flowers at our local home-brewing shop in Austin, but you might also find…

Rosemary Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt Ice Cream

The rosemary flavor is really nice during the winter holidays, especially if you’re stuck in Texas with no snow and no Christmas tree. So I’m sharing this now in the hopes that you make some this season for your friends and family, who will mock you for saying things like “subtle notes of evergreen on the nose”.

Chocolate Mustard Ice Cream

After hearing about this combo on Gastropod, I had to make this flavor into ice cream. When I blind taste tested this on 3 different people, the first person said this ice cream tasted just like raspberries, the second said it was “extra fudgey,” and the third person still doesn’t believe that it wasn’t peanut butter. All I know is that it’s really, really good.

Zeroll Ice Cream Scoop vs. Midnight Ice Cream Scoop

Made by an aerospace engineer, the Midnight Scoop has been dubbed the Ferrari of Ice Cream Scoops, it’s featured on Oprah’s gift list, and the creator raised nearly ten times the amount he asked for on Kickstarter. It claims to literally be “bomb proof.” But perhaps more importantly, it’s dishwasher proof. I put it to the test against the Zeroll Scoop.
