This week, as I was sitting in our house with the ac currently on the fritz I thought to myself, what do I really want right now? Answer: ice cream. But not just any ice cream, something refreshing. Something complex. Something more than just you’re typical one-note ice cream flavor. Something delicious. Three seconds later I knew what I was gonna do. And I recommend you try this recipe for yourself, because it’s hot outside and you too deserve something to delicious, complex, and refreshing.You can thank me later.
