→    a note on lavender

Using cooking lavender, specifically culinary lavender, is essential for recipes because it is specifically grown and processed for culinary use. Unlike other types of lavender, culinary lavender is free from pesticides and other harmful chemicals that can be present in non-food-grade lavender. Additionally, culinary lavender is selected for its flavor profile, which is more suitable for cooking and baking, offering a sweet, floral taste that can enhance a variety of dishes. Using culinary lavender ensures that you get the desired flavor and aroma in your recipes without the risk of any unwanted chemicals or bitterness that can be found in other types of lavender.

→    a note on eggs

In ice cream recipes, eggs are often used to create a smooth and creamy texture. However, it's crucial to use pasteurized eggs to reduce the risk of foodborne illness, especially when making recipes that call for raw or undercooked eggs, such as custard-based ice creams. Pasteurization involves heating the eggs to a specific temperature to kill any harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella. Additionally, when using eggs in ice cream recipes, it's essential to properly cook them to ensure that they are safe to eat. This typically involves heating the egg mixture to a specific temperature while stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling. By using pasteurized eggs and cooking them properly, you can enjoy delicious and safe homemade ice cream.
