**Panna Cotta:**
1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until softened.
2. Combine milk, cream, and honey: In a saucepan, combine the Jersey milk, heavy cream, and lavender honey. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.
3. Dissolve the gelatin: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm milk mixture and whisk until completely dissolved.
4. Strain and pour: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher or bowl to remove any undissolved gelatin or impurities. This will give you a smoother panna cotta.
5. Pour into ramekins: Pour the mixture evenly into the 4 ramekins or glasses.
6. Chill: Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
**Jersey Royal Potato Crumble:**
1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a food processor (or using a pastry blender or your fingers), combine the cooked Jersey Royal potatoes, flour, sugar, salt and cold Jersey butter.
3. Pulse/rub the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
4. Spread the crumble evenly onto a small baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool completely.
**Assembly:**
1. To unmold the panna cotta (optional): Dip the bottom of each ramekin briefly in warm water. Run a thin knife around the edge of the panna cotta to loosen it. Invert onto a serving plate. If it doesn't release immediately, gently tap the bottom of the ramekin.
2. Top with crumble: Spoon the Jersey Royal potato crumble over the top of each panna cotta.
3. Garnish: Arrange fresh seasonal berries around the panna cotta and drizzle with a little extra Jersey lavender honey.
4. Serve and enjoy!

To add more lavender flavor, steep a small amount of dried culinary lavender in the milk mixture while heating. Strain before adding the gelatin.
If you don't have ramekins, you can use small glass bowls or even martini glasses.
For a smoother texture, avoid boiling the milk and cream mixture. Simmering gently is key.
Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before pouring into the ramekins to avoid grainy texture.
If you don't have a food processor for the crumble, you can use your fingers to rub the butter into the other ingredients, but make sure the butter is very cold.
