Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare your springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.

  3. Infuse 1 tablespoon of culinary lavender in ¼ cup of lemon juice for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove lavender buds.
  4. Beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Fold in sour cream, lemon zest, infused lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake in a water bath for 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the pan, top with honeycomb, drizzle honey, and garnish with lavender buds and lemon zest.
