Savoring Strawberry Summer
Urfa Biber - Strawberry Ice Cream
Chiles aren't just for cooking savory food; many are wonderful in desserts, too. Urfa Biber, for example, is a great pairing with berries, honey or chocolate. At a recent cook-off, we added Urfa Biber to Strawberry Ice Cream with fantastic results.

As June unfurls its warm embrace, strawberries reach their peak! To capture the sunshine in a glass, we have artfully paired these ripe berries with our spicy yet refreshing tea, Firefly Garden. This herbal infusion boasts a delightful kick from green peppercorns, perfectly balanced by the soothing notes of lemongrass and chrysanthemum flowers. Once chilled, this brew becomes the quintessential essence of summer, ready to be enjoyed at any time of day.

As the summer heats up, it's nice to have some cold treats on hand to keep you cool. These strawberry creamsicles are fruity and sweet, with just a hint of floral flavor. This taste of summer vacation is vegan, so they can be enjoyed by all.Fresh strawberries do the heavy lifting in this recipe, with coconut milk and cashews teaming up to keep the cold treats creamy. Their addition makes the strawberry base almost like custard. Cardamom Seed, commonly used in both coconut curries and fruity pastries, brings the flavors together with a delightful twist.
