Recipe Notes
- If you don't have lavender honey, you can use any honey for this recipe
- While boiling the tart filling, do not walk away or use a small pot. This mixture can easily boil over so keep a close eye on it, whisking at all times.
- The chill time can vary between tarts. It should only take an hour to set, but it may take longer. I actually put in the freezer to help with the setting process.
- Store in the fridge or freezer. Keeping it in the freezer makes a delightful frozen treat. You will love it either way.
