The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 August 2025 5 Comments

The absolute best sort of lemming: one that's already sold out. From Jeni's, Golden Nectar Ice Cream, with ylang!! (Looks like it was around for at least the last four summers, so maybe next year?) "Tastes like the end of a relaxing sunny day lounging by the pool — sun-kissed and perfectly refreshing. Golden Nectar is an indescribable, deliriously delicious, amber-colored gem. A yellow sweet cream made with some of Jeni’s favorite warm spices—vanilla, clove, and ylang ylang—that taste a lot like a chilled summer chai (minus the tea). It’s round and soft, with notes of nectar. And made a little flirty with firecracker-like snaps of aerated toffee candy. A Jeni’s summer classic, this is the stuff summer daydreams are made of." Do comment if you ever tasted it.

    OOOO-MMMM-GGGG! How did I not hear of this before? There’s a Jeni’s nearby the post office. I will have to see if there’s any left (but resolve to avoid all the other flavors) for sale!

      I do not know if this one goes into distribution, and admittedly if it was in Whole Foods I might not have noticed it since it does not say YLANG YLANG on the carton 😉

    Oh, Robin – don’t we know it: “The absolute best sort of lemming: one that’s already sold out. ” 😀
