Description
A recipe using Scented-Geranium leaves (Pelargonium).

Ingredients

 * 16-18 fresh scented geranium leaves (Mabel Grey or Rose geranium are both good)
 * 1 cup superfine sugar
 * ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
 * 3 cups cold water

Directions

 * 1) Put leaves into a food processor or blender, with the sugar. Process until the mixture looks like a green paste.


 * 1) Add lemon juice and process for another 15 seconds or so.


 * 1) Add water and give it a final good blending, then strain through a fine sieve to remove any bits of leaf.


 * 1) Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer's directions.


 * 1) If you like, you might also add a half-cup of lemon balm leaves with the geranium leaves—that would be a nice extra-lemony touch
