Ingredients




1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup strong honey (I used Fireweed honey because I was unable to get chestnut 
3 sheets gelatin
water (to soak gelatin)

4 green cardamom pods
vegetable oil (to line molds)

Preparation

1 In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the cream, milk, honey and cardamom over medium heat. Do not bring to a boil - this should barely begin to bubble on the edges. 2 Soak the gelatin in cold water. This will take about 5 minutes. 3 Strain the cream mixture to remove the cardamom pods. 4 Remove the gelatin from the water and squeeze out the excess water. 5 Plunge the gelatin into the hot cream mixture and stir well with a spoon or a whisk (do not stir so much as to create a foam, however). 6 Pour into greased molds and refrigerate until firm. 7 To unmold, place the mold in a dish of hot water very briefly and invert onto a plate.
