Panna Cotta E Biscotti... Panna Cotta And Shortbread...

Lately i've enjoyed the flavor,  and fragrance of Orange, Vanilla, and  Rosemary...  simmering  those things together to make the house smell good.  I decided to put that flavor into Panna Cotta.
I simmered Orange slices with Vanilla Bean and freshly cut Rosemary in water and sugar to make a syrup,  reduced it ,  then added that to the cream,   to infuse as the cream heated.  Cooled it, strained it and proceeded with making the Panna Cotta.  The flavor was subtle,   but definitely there.  I topped it with grated Dark Chocolate.  Another favorite flavor right now is  Honey Vanilla Camomile Tea. Using a mortar and pestle I finely ground the tea,  scraped a vanilla pod,  and added both to the butter for my shortbread.  That worked well... I will try that with my other favorite tea,  Earl Grey.
