Breakfast
Ricotta, Figs & Orange Blossom Honey
The best breakfast requires no cooking. Good bread, fresh ricotta, ripe figs, and a honey that tastes like citrus flowers.
Drinks
Honey Lemonade with Mint
Lemonade sweetened with honey instead of sugar has more depth and a softer edge. Use a light honey so the lemon stays bright.
Dessert
Lavender Honey Shortbread
Buttery shortbread sweetened partly with honey, with just enough lavender to notice. Delicate, a little floral, very good with tea.
