Bringing The Oasis of Nature Indoors
During these times when we’ve had to spend so much time indoors, nature has been an oasis. It’s the wide open safe space to breath fresh air without worry. It seems like greens have never been greener and flowers never brighter. Perhaps because nature, like us all, needed a break from our fast paced modern world.
This week I was inspired to create a fresh and healthy dessert using ingredients from nature and a centerpiece of flowers from my own yard. I even picked a few magnolia flowers because I learned that you can make a healthy tea from them. I haven’t tried that yet but I plan to soon! Magnolia has to be my favorite scent on the planet.
I kept the dessert very simple. Good vanilla ice cream, fresh fruit, a little sauce of fresh lemon and honey, a sprig of lemon mint with walnuts on top. See the full recipe below.Ā
