Chocolate-Honey Tart

[livefrommombasa]

I made a really delicious dessert the other day, if I do say so myself. And it was really easy to make to boot. Thought I'd share it with all of you.

In this recipe, the lavender is really optional and you could leave it out and still enjoy recipe.

I might check at local co-ops or natural food stores, like Whole Foods. Sometimes they have lavender in bulk. Check also any stores that would sell herbs to a Pagan audience, that stuff is probably edible.

One of the main things is that you can just grind up lavender flowers to make it edible. It depends on the recipe - here I just used whole lavender flowers because I was going to strain it out anyway.

I did a bit of quick research, and it seems the main thing that would make lavender inedible is if it has been sprayed. I think you can eat most lavender, some varieties just taste better than others. http://www.emmitsburg.net/gardens/articles/adams/2005/eat_the_flowers.htm

that sounds like something i want to rub ALL OVER MY BODY.

We can make it when you come to visit if you want. But I would definitely encourage the eating of the delicious dessert instead of the rubbing of it.

Yummm!
Putting lavender in baked goods is my new favorite thing!

For Yule I made lavender-poppyseed french macarons for my coworkers.
