Häagen-Dazs Japan's new lemon ginger ice cream flavor has appeal both as a refreshing summer treat and as a feel-good thing to eat when you're under the weather.
The Häagen-Dazs Lemon Ginger Float combines a creamy milk-based ice cream with a lemon and ginger sorbet, complete with chunks of actual lemon zest for an extra citrusy kick. Even though lemon ginger tea is often consumed hot as a remedy for illness, this chilled treat isn't specifically branded as a dessert for wellness. Even so, a few scoops of this lemon ginger ice cream has got to be a lot more enjoyable to down than a spoonful of cough syrup—and even if you're not sick, doesn't eating a bowl of ice cream always manage to make you feel so much better?
