Warm heavy cream and dissolve sugar and then cool to room temp
Whisk egg yolk into the cream mixture.
Add vanilla extract, vanilla bean and lavender buds.
Pour into a ramekin.
Add 1 cup water and place the trivet or a steamer.
Place the ramekin on top of the trivet.
Set on HIGH for 9 minutes and NPR
Take out the ramekin and cool for at least 45 minutes and refrigerate for additional 4- 5 hours or overnight.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar and broil until the sugar browns...it took me about 3 minutes in my convection oven. Yours might vary. Be careful NOT to broil it too long as it will make the creme get softer. If it happens, put it back in the fridge until it gets firmer.
Notes
If you want to make more, adjust the amounts of ingredients appropriately.
