Daylily Ice Cream

As soon as I started thinking about the Ice Cream Socials I knew I wanted to try this! I had just received an issue of Urban Farm Magazine and it had a recipe for Daylily Ice Cream in it. While I didn't make theirs I did use it as inspiration and I'll list both recipes.

Common daylilies are edible, 

I spent some time researching it and decided to remove the stamen because one article said to.

Daylily Ice Cream (my version)
2 C Half and Half
1/2 C 2% milk
2/3 C sugar
2 egg yolks (leave out if you don't want to use them)
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp orange extract
15 day lillies (mix of flowers and buds)

1. Add all to a blender, mix well.
2. Chill for one hour.
3. Add to ice cream maker, following directions.

Notes:

• Tastes like Creamsicle Ice Cream to me!
• It's very pretty with the flecks of color in it.
• Sub some heavy cream for part of the half and half or milk if you'd like.
• Am I suggesting you run out and pick your flowers to make ice cream? Na, this is just something fun and different to try if you'd like to. 

Have a happy day:@)
