  • ½ vanilla bean
  • 1 tsp lavender (dried or fresh)

Caramelised Tangerine

  • 1 can tangerine
  • 2 tbsp white sugar

instructions
 

Panna Cotta

  • Soak gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the cream, agave syrup and vanilla in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside.
  • Lift the gelatin sheets from the cold water and wring gently to remove excess water. Add the gelatin sheets to the warm cream mixture and stir until they melt completely.
  • Whisk in the orange blossom water and yogurt until well combined.
  • Divide the cream mixture among six ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for the panna cotta to set.
  • After the panna cotta has set. Take it out of the ramekins and serve it with the lavender blackberry sauce and the caramelized tangerine. 

Lavender Blackberry sauce

  • Wash and remove any stems from the blueberries. Using a (disposable) tea bag or a tea strainer to wrap the lavender up in a bundle.
  • To a sauce pan add the cornstarch. Very slowly stir in the orange juice, working out any lumps as you go. 
  • Add the blackberries to the pan along with the vanilla, lavender tea bag, and agave syrup.
  • Place over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until it starts to get nice and thick. The colour will look a bit odd at first but will get more and more purple as the sauce cooks. 
  • Once the sauce is dark purple and thick and the blackberries have broken down remove from the heat. This should take 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of water to thin if it gets too thick. I recommend adding the water in or over the lavender and let it set. This will add more lavender flavor. Leave the lavender in the sauce for 2-4 hours. 

Caramelised Tangerine

  • Place the tangerine pieces on a plate. Dry them with kitchen paper.
  • Cover each of them with sugar and blowtorch them till they caramelize.
