How to Make It:
The process couldn't be simpler. Grab a medium bowl and get ready to mix:
Place the softened cream cheese into the bowl – the softer it is, the easier it will be to combine with your other ingredients.
Next, gently fold in the yarrow flowers, ensuring that their bold flavor is dispersed throughout the cream cheese.
Pour in the honey, which will add a lovely, nuanced sweetness and make the spread irresistibly smooth.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste; this will enhance the flavors and balance the sweetness of the honey.
Stir it all together until fully combined and you've achieved a creamy, dreamy consistency.
Voilà! You've just created something extraordinary.
