Bloom the gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes, until softened.

Infuse cream with honey and lavender

In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, honey, and lavender. Heat gently over medium-low until just steaming, stirring often; do not boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep 5 minutes, then strain through a fine sieve.

Dissolve, pour, and chill

Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm cream until dissolved, then mix in the vanilla. Pour into 4 cups and cool to room temperature, then chill at least 4 hours until set. Serve with berries and a honey drizzle.
