Almond and Lavender Honey Ice Cream

Recipe printer with permission from American Almond Products Company, Inc. 

Almonds require bees for pollination and often those bees sup the nectar of fragrant lavender. So the combination of an ice cream with the delicate scent of almonds, honey and lavender speaks to the summer season.   This recipe is simple to make because there is no egg custard base. The Love’n Bake Almond Paste helps give it the creaminess associated with custard-style ice creams although it does have a bit of texture from the ground nuts in the paste. If you can’t find lavender honey, use a light clover-type honey and add a small amount of lavender blossoms to the mixture or omit the lavender entirely.

Serve this alone, with a crisp cookie such as an Almond Macaroon or atop a bowl of fresh

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
