Black Berry Chamomile Tartelettes

When I saw that these black berries were on “sale” (still expensive but it’s half off the usual price), in the supermarket, It was a joyous moment to finally had them in my trolley . At home I couldn’t wait to use it, so I thought what could be better than to use it for a dish for special occassion.

I’ve been enjoying “playing” with scents lately… adore orange blossom, rose water… wanting to use jasmine soon,  sad couldn’t find lavender… Anyway, for Dhanggit’s baby I choose chamomile to add “the” extra, It’s been known that it’s very good for babies (small and big ones ), and who doesn’t love fruit tarts ? Just hope she’ll find it perfect for her party
