(#106) Lavender Cardamom: Let's Get Lost

I just planted my first lavender plant! It's the start of a little lavender garden that I'll be growing on my back patio. I'm about to start composting, too! It'll mostly be Scoopsies scraps (scrapsies!) that will help the lavender grow. It's a beautiful cycle! 

I couldn't wait, though. I stopped in to Cambridge Naturals and grabbed a few ounces for my most recent flavor, Lavender Cardamom. Katelyn (of Scoop Sights) came over and made her own lavender delight--Vegan Lavender Lemon Ice Cream. Both scrumptious.

Light and delicate, this flavor is my companion for the Summer.

(#53) LAVENDER HONEY: The Loveliest of Flavors

We're officially on a lavender kick!  Our White Chocolate Raspberry Lavender was so inspirational that we had to make a second lavender flavor.  We liked this one so much that we premiered it at our latest event.  And we'll be scooping it up again at our next few events, as it is now a Scoopsies favorite!  

Would it be going overboard to do another lavender flavor? Maybe Chocolate Lavender? Let us know if you have any lavender-related suggestions because we're on a roll!

(#52) WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY LAVENDER: Luxury In A Scoop

White chocolate, raspberry, and lavender--a match made in ice cream heaven.  And that's exactly what this flavor looks and tastes like: heaven.  This trinity of flavors is so divine, I almost wanted to keep this pint in my freezer just to always have it in there (kind of like a fancy cake--it's so perfect, you don't want to touch it!)
