How to Mimic the Taste of Clover?

I been real into makin' ice creams lately. Spring has seen me use both fresh mint and basil for different flavors. I saw an old commercial for a certain kind of milkshake and, while remembering it fondly, regretted that it tasted nothing like clover. I have no clue where to get food-grade clover, so I figure I might try and replicate it.

Its sort of citric and grassy. The citric qualities are easy enough to imitate, standard lemon juice and a touch of zest could do the trick. I've seen lemongrass, but never really tried it, I wonder how it might compare? Considering a small amount of finely minced micro-greens or sprouts as an alternative stand-in for the grassiness.

Figure I'll swap out a lil portion of the sugar for clover honey.

Opinions?
