# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups heavy cream
02 - 1 cup whole milk
→ Sweeteners & Flavorings
03 - 1/4 cup honey, plus extra for drizzling
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender buds
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

06 - 2 1/4 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
07 - 3 tablespoons cold water

08 - Fresh berries (such as blueberries or raspberries)
09 - Edible flowers or additional lavender buds
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Combine heavy cream, whole milk, and dried lavender buds in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat until steaming, ensuring the mixture does not boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
02 - Sprinkle unflavored powdered gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes until fully bloomed.
03 - Strain the infused cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove all lavender buds. Return liquid to the saucepan. Add honey and vanilla extract, heating gently until honey dissolves and mixture is hot but not boiling.
04 - Remove from heat. Add bloomed gelatin and whisk thoroughly until gelatin is completely dissolved.
05 - Divide mixture evenly among six ramekins or small glasses. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or until set.
06 - To serve, unmold onto plates if preferred or serve directly in glasses. Drizzle with additional honey and garnish with fresh berries and edible flowers as desired.
