YOUR KITCHEN March 18, 2019: What's the best part about baking with beer? You typically need a cup or so in a single batch, reserving the rest for a well-deserved refreshment while things heat up in the kitchen. We worked with
Le Dolci to take your high tea to the next level with beer, scones and ice cream. If you're reading this, beer might be a regular staple in your household, making it an easy stand-in for dry yeast and water.
Black Raspberry Thunder milkshake IPA delivers a touch of raspberry flavour to create a scone that's rich and moist. We even threw the beer in the glaze for a sticky sweet raspberry coating.

A fresh take on the ice cream sandwich: fold a healthy scoop of Kawartha Dairy Black Raspberry Thunder ice cream into your scones and watch it blissfully melt into the fluffy texture of the pastry. Top with fresh raspberries and serve alongside our milkshake IPA.
