Step 1
In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine cream, milk and sugar. Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean and add seeds and bean to saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often. Remove vanilla bean and pour cream mixture over gelatin. Stir well until gelatin is dissolved and smooth. Pour into six 1/2-cup (125 mL) jars, glasses or dessert dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 3 hours or until set.
Step 3
Topping: Meanwhile, using a mortar and pestle, grind sugar and lavender or rosemary together. Stir into strawberries and mash together using a potatomasher or fork. Spoon on top of each panna cotta to serve.
