It's very easy to find sweet orange essential oil. You can find it at most grocery stores that have a natural section and you can get a whole bottle for less than $4. And a bottle goes a long way! This is a super inexpensive ice cream! So, feel free to add in a few nuts like chopped cashews or brazil nuts.
