Random pictures of the lavender ice cream making process
I had to heat the lavender in milk and this is straining the lavender out.
After I left the Lavender in the milk overnight. Then the next day (actually, the day after that). Only the egg yolk is needed. Hehe my perfectly round egg yolk ^^
The jar of honey I needed =]
Honey + egg yolk = below...
Stirring the egg yolk and honey mixture into the lavender milk
10 minutes after heating the mixture. It then turns into a custard-ish mixture.
After a while of heating the mixture on a low heat, it slowly thickens. Then you know that you are, I mean was, a chemistry student when you start thinking about why it thickens as it heats. Then I started to think about the heat being applied to the mixture gives it energy, and somehow something happens to the bonds etc =P
I'll post later today when the ice cream is done... I hope it actually freezes =]
I hope you had fun, the pictures look great :) I hope it freezes/has freezed... see you soon.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what to think, Lavender ice cream. I remember eating a pot puree thing that was lavender, once. Well maybe putting in my mouth then tasting it (not eating). I didn't really like the taste of lavender.
Tell me what the ice creams tastes like!
