Lavender Panna Cotta

[Cactussed]

Where do I buy the Lavender from in London?

[Plotloss]

Borough Market?

[Cactussed]

Not a bad idea. Bit of a shag to get to during the week though.

I've got loads in the garden - could bring some to DDs?

[Cactussed]

LOL! Seriously? That would be brilliant!

Am going to cop stick for wearing the hooded cardigan, I might as well be carrying lavender to finish off the ensemble

How much do you need, and does it need to be 'fresh' or 'dried'?

I don't honestly know, never used it before.
I think some of both if you have it??

[Mobile Chicane]

OK. I'll pick some now and more on Thursday.

If it helps to further ponce up lavender panna cotta you can say it's organic 'high altitude' lavender - the very best kind. (Apparently.)

[Cactussed]

Excellent!!!!! thank you so much!

You could do some crystallized lavender flowers to go with your desert, might be a nice palate cleanser for the end of your meal?

Ooh also whilst you have the fresh lavender available, try some in the bottom of your champagne glass

How many and what do you do with them? In the champagne glass I mean?

Down in one..

Or alternatively

Sorry, but lavender syrup and champagne - with a lavender garnish - has got to be even gheyer than lavender panna cotta.

Roll on City Drinks on the 30th.

Surely lavender has no place in anything a human consumes?

I don't know about making the syrup, but just a sprig in your champagne glass looks rather classy and you can only subtly taste the lavender.

[Mobile Chicane]

In that case, I'll give it a try.

A pleasant change to strawbuggeries.. alas not quite as pleasing to the tastebuds (IMHO)

Cool! I did green tea last time, with home made cardomom ice cream, which tased great. The panna cotta looked cool becuase of all the tiny tea leaves which settle and form a thin layer on top...
