Calm Blend Lavender Lemon Panna Cotta
A silky panna cotta infused with the calm blend's lavender and lemon balm — a delicate, floral, soothing dessert that turns the calming tea into a creamy treat.
Panna cotta is the perfect canvas for the calm blend's gentle floral notes. Steeping the lemon balm, chamomile, lavender, and passionflower in warm cream infuses the dessert with a delicate, perfumed character — soft lavender and bright lemon balm in every silky spoonful.
The key is restraint: the blend's lavender is potent, so a short, careful steep keeps the panna cotta fragrant rather than soapy. Strain the cream well so you capture all the aroma and none of the herb.
Set it gently with just enough gelatin to hold a soft, trembling wobble — a true panna cotta should barely stand. The result is luxuriously smooth, with the floral notes coming through cleanly against the sweet cream.
Serve chilled, topped with fresh berries or a spoon of lemon curd for a bright, contrasting finish. It's an elegant, soothing dessert that carries the calm blend's relaxing spirit right to the end of the meal.
