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.

This is the ice cream of your childhood fantasies. This is the slogan of your campaign for Vice President of the fourth grade. This is the first time you went to the movies without parents and spent all your hard-earned babysitting money on both Bruncha Crunch and refillable popcorn, and combined them into one sweet and salty pile of perfection.
