    Preparation

    Make The Dark Chocolate Lavender Dip

    In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate, crème fraîche, and brown rice syrup, stirring to integrate. When just a few pieces of chocolate remain, remove from heat and begin to whisk. Continue to whisk as you add the lavender extract until the dip is completely smooth and takes on a slightly bouncy quality—it will remain pliant even when it cools. Transfer to a small serving bowl, and bring to room temperature. Garnish with dried lavender buds.

    Make The Matcha Jasmine Mascarpone Dip

    Brew the jasmine tea in ¼ cup boiling water and let steep 5 to 10 minutes. Discard the tea leaves. In a cup or small bowl, whisk together 1½ teaspoons of this jasmine tea concentrate with ½ teaspoon matcha powder until no clumps remain. In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone and honey. Add the jasmine matcha concentrate and blend until the mixture is uniform in color. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder.

    Make The Dessert Bread Board

    1. Choose a large surface to hold all your dips, breads, fruits, and nuts. Place your dips and build your board around them.
    2. Slice the baguette into ¼-½" slices. Fan out bread slices around the dip bowls, leaving room for fruit and nuts.
    3. Fill in the gaps with fruit, nuts, and more bread as desired.
