Lavender Ice Cream

I actually had quite a lot of things I wanted to post about yesterday, but I've completely forgotten after that nice long sleep. All I can remember is the lavender ice cream. 

Yesterday, we went to a restaurant and towards the end, the dessert menu came. The first thing that caught my eye was the orange sorbet (I love it) - rather than it caught my eye, I was looking for it. The next thing that happened was my eye scrolled upwards towards this purple ice cream. It was really purple. It was like this purple. So I ordered that. And we were wondering what would lavender ice cream taste like. My mum said "It'll taste like lavender". I was like "Yes, but you can't taste lavender. I can smell it, but you can't taste the smell" - so that was a big mystery. 

The first reaction when the ice cream arrived was: that's not purple. Well at least it wasn't as purple as we had expected. It was like a grey purple. It was a colour between this colour and this colour. It's more like the first colour but darker... wasn't exactly purple - but ah well. Then when I tasted the ice cream... what can I say: it tastes like lavender. I wish I had taken a photo but I was too distracted by it. 

Today I googled 'lavender ice cream recipe' and quite a few comes up. So I guess it's not that uncommon. But it's definitely a recommendation =]  

Have a lovely day ^^v~

P.s. I just tried to google image lavender ice cream to give a more appropriate example of the colour, but it turns out that most of the ice cream that came up was a white/creamy ivory colour.
