Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 12 min
Total time: 22 min
Ingredients: 1 cup pistachio nuts, toasted; 1 teaspoon lavender petals; 1 cup sugar; 2 tablespoon honey; 1/3 cup water

Ingredients

1 cup pistachio nuts, toasted

1 teaspoon lavender petals

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoon honey

1/3 cup water

Method

1.Line a large oven tray with baking paper. Scatter nuts and petals evenly over surface.

2.In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, honey and water. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and bring to boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, without stirring, until a light golden caramel (hard-crack stage).

3.Allow bubbles to subside. Pour toffee over nuts and petals. Tilt tray, spreading toffee into a thin layer. Set aside to cool completely. Break into shards.

The added honey will make the toffee appear golden before it’s at hard-crack stage, so it’s best to use a sugar thermometer and get a precise judgement.
