Millie’s Homemade Ice Cream

Millie’s made Taylor Swift a special batch of Lavender Haze ice cream and they’re trying to get a pint to Taylor and her crew! Don’t worry, you can try some too! This flavor will be available in all Millie’s locations this week. With ice cream this good to cool down with, there’s no way you’ll have a Cruel Summer.
