• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄8 cup cold water
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons gelatin
• 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms (ensure no pesticide has been used, health food shops are quite good)

directions

1. Stir the gelatin into the 1/8 cup of cold water in a small heat resistant dish and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Take the dish and place it into a saucepan with 1" of water and bring the water to a boil. Stir until the gelatin dissolves.
2. In another saucepan heat cream and sugar together, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin, vanilla, lavender and peppermint extract. Pour into 4 small ramekins, tea cups, or any small dish. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
