Are there any home ice cream makers here? (self.food)

As my daughter is lactose intolerant I started to make cashew based ice cream. Now, we only eat homemade and I think it tastes better than any store bought. I still try to improve, and was wondering if there are any homemade ice cream makers here?

No, but I spent a few years working at a mom & pop ice cream place, and that ruined store bought for me for awhile. It tastes oddly waxy compared to homemade.

Some flavors I remember were coffee made with cold brew, honey + sunflower seeds, and lavender. Lavender was surprisingly good, made by steeping lavender in milk like you would a tea.

Lavender sounds cool! I love lavender tea, so think that will be nice. Cinnamon basil is also a favourite of ours.

And yes, it ruins storebought. Even expensive ice cream no longer tastes as good.
