ALMOND ICE CREAM
I don’t know what it is about ice creams. When I see a new flavour in the store I get excited and must buy it. I saw almond kulfi which I have had in the past and love. It’s an Indian style ice cream flavoured with almonds, saffron, cardamons, and sometimes pistachios. I knew I had to try it. Sadly, I was very disappointed, it was freezer burned, so I ended up returning it. But the taste was disappointing as well. It had an artificial flavour and when I checked out the ingredients it made sense. Lots of colouring and preservatives. So I of course, decided to make my own.
