Raw Berry Ice Cream

Lemon Balm Berry Ice Cream by Heather Pace



Last summer I tried lemon balm in a recipe for the first time. I was so impressed! This tangy refreshing ice cream is packed with the lemony tasting, soft, fuzzy green herb. Lemon balm, part of the mint family, has been used throughout the ages to reduce anxiety, stress, pain, and indigestion.



You can substitute these berries for any other berries of your choice.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cashews

1 cup water

1 cup packed lemon balm leaves

1/2 cup blueberries

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup agave

1/2 cup lemon juice

2-3 drops lemon essential oil*

Directions



Blend all but all ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

Process the liquid through an ice cream machine according to the manufacturers instructions.

*Substitute lemon zest to taste.
