Butterscotch - Rum Ripple Ice Cream

This is by far one of my all time favorite ice cream recipes. A friend told me that if I continued to make this for him, he'd give up Ben & Jerry's forever! The photo pictured is for visual only. Everyone ate it so fast, I never got a photo! This recipe is definitely enhanced using Medicine Flower extracts. If you don't have them, feel free to use an alternative, but these are the BEST. This ice cream is amazing! A little goes a long way, but you might want to double this. I served 6 small portions, but it was plenty!
