4
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lavender flowers and vanilla bean pieces.

Squeeze out the excess water from the softened gelatin sheets, then add them to the warm cream mixture. Stir until completely dissolved.
6
Pour the mixture into small molds or glasses, then let cool to room temperature.
