Honey Lavender Ice Cream

Usually if I’m going to have a dessert, it’s going to involve chocolate.  This however, may be my new favorite.  It is so refreshing on a hot summer day.  Try this ice cream with grilled peaches and granola(Paleonola for Paleo version), or with blueberries and honey roasted almonds.  Yummmmmy!
