Suggested Recipe: Cinnamon and Blackberry Herbal Tea Panna Cotta
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 1 tbsp.)
2 tbsp. cold water
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup sugar plus 2 tbsp. for sauce and whipped cream
2 bags of Bigelow Benefits cinnamon and blackberry herbal tea
1 pint (2 cups) blackberries plus extra for garnish
3 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. lemon juice
Fresh mint for garnish

Panna Cotta
In a very small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat until gelatin is dissolved, and remove the pan from heat. In a large saucepan, bring cream, 1 cup half and half, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 Bigelow Benefits cinnamon and blackberry herbal tea bag to a just a boil over moderately high heat, stirring. Remove pan from heat and pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove tea bag and any tea that may have become loose. Stir in gelatin mixture. Divide cream mixture among (5) 1/2 cup ramekins and cool to room temperature. Chill ramekins, covered, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Blackberry Sauce
To make blackberry sauce, puree the berries in a food processor and push through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Whisk in 3 tbsp. sugar and lemon juice, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary.

Tea-Infused Whipped Cream
For tea-infused whipped cream, put 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 Bigelow Benefits cinnamon and blackberry herbal tea bag in a pot and heat just until simmered. Remove from heat, and pour through strainer to remove tea bag and any tea that may have become loose. Let it come to room temperature then cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Whip the cream and 1 tbsp. sugar together until desired consistency. Spoon 1 1/2 tsp. blackberry sauce over panna cotta, and swirl the ramekin around until sauce reaches the edge. Pipe a rosette of the whipped cream in the center over the sauce. Garnish with mint and fresh blackberries and serve!
