Sue Bee's Honey &
Lavender Ice Cream

Recipe from GillianIvy



I got this recipe from Aunt Sue, formerly known as Sue Bee Honey or Shih Tzu. Bwahahaha, no one really called her that, but it was fun to say "Shit, Sue" to her... She's Sue Gardner now, So Sue "G" Honey, though Gardeners do have bees in their gardens. This recipe will require an ice cream maker, or creativity. I heard you can use two different sized coffee cans, one that can fit inside of the other, put mix in inner can and ice and rock salt in outer can and roll on the floor back and forth forever.

Sue Bee's Honey &
Lavender Ice Cream



  • 2 cups Milk
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • ¼ cup Lavender
  • ¼ cup Sugar or Honey (separate from previous)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 5 egg yolks

    1. Combine the first three ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes and let steep for up to 5 minutes longer. Strain thoroughly through a sieve.
    2. Return the milk mixture to the sauce pan and add 1/4 cup of sugar or honey, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tsp of vanilla and 5 egg yolks.
    3. Simmer while stirring for 5 minutes. Mix will start to thicken like custard, remove from heat and cool.
    4. Pour into the ice cream maker. Add ice and rock salt to outer area and crank until frozen. lasts up to a month in the freezer.
