Makes about 1 quart
After making ice cream at home you may never go back to store bought varieties (or you might as it is a lot easier)! Seriously though, it is pretty simple to make any kind of ice cream at home with an ice cream maker - self churn or automatic, it doesn’t matter. This ice cream uses only honey as the sweetener, so make sure to use a high quality honey (like Seek&Bee!) Also, this ice cream will not freeze completely solid since honey causes ice cream to retain a soft consistency even when fully frozen.
