Just because summer is coming to an end doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy ice cream. 

I love making homemade ice cream year-round. It’s such a fun food to enjoy for a special treat. During the summertime, I am all about fresh, seasonal fruit ice creams, like strawberry lemonade and blackberry honey. But as the summer comes to an end, I tend to prefer light ice cream versions like concord grape sherbet, carrot cinnamon frozen yogurt and herbal tea ice creams.

Herbal iced tea is so perfect + refreshing during the summer, right? Well, so are delicate herbal tea ice creams. They are more of an ice milk or sherbet. Like a combination of ice cream + sorbet. Super delicious!

Chamomile Mint Lavender Ice Cream | Delicious Obsessions

My Little Love really enjoys this Chamomile Mint Lavender Ice Cream, and I have no problem serving her a large bowl. It’s a great way to get some herbal teas into your little ones. Plus, chamomile and lavender are calming herbal flowers. And mint is so lovely for digestion. The three together make the most delicious flavor.

I love the idea of sipping on some herbal tea in the afternoon to help settle down and let the stressors of the day go. Sounds great, right? I also love, love, love the idea of having herbal tea ice cream after dinner to relax and settle down for the night. What’s not to love?

This Chamomile Mint Lavender Ice Cream is so easy to make. You don’t even need a blender to mix up the ingredients. Steep the tea for 15 minutes, let it cool, mix in some honey + cream {or coconut milk} and you’re good to go. Just pour the fragrant ice cream mixture into your ice cream maker and in under 30 minutes, you’ll have an amazing + refreshing ice cream.

Take some time for you, sit back, relax and enjoy this unique ice cream.

When the weather gets warm, nothing is more delicious than a bowl of cold ice cream or a delicious frozen treat.

Can you still make tasty treats without all the special equipment?

Yes! You can!

That is why I created The Splendid Scoop and Other Frozen Treats eBook! I, myself, am on a restricted diet for health reasons and when the weather starts warming up over 65 F, I start to get cranky. ? I am definitely a cool weather gal and one way to keep me sane and satisfied during the height of summer is knowing that I can make something delicious, at home, using healthy ingredients that fit my lifestyle.
