LEMON SYLLABUB
This is a deliciously light, creamy, sophisticated little dessert from days gone by. I first tasted it at a supper given by a lecturer in seventeenth-century literature when I was at college, and it took our tastebuds right back to the Restoration. It can be prepared as either a parfait or a punch--please note that either version contains alcohol, so you may not want to serve this to younger family members.

- Serve in chilled parfait glasses, garnished with a dash of nutmeg, a sprig of mint, and a slice of lemon. Syllabub should be eaten with a small spoon, and savored.

HONEY SYLLABUB
A British creation dating to the sixteenth century, the syllabub hovers between a thick drink and a dessert. Ours features mead, a honey- and flower-flavored spirit popular in early England; dessert wine such as Sauternes is as delicious.

Steps:
- Put 1/2 cup cream and the bay leaf into a small saucepan; cook over medium heat until almost simmering. Remove from heat. Cover, and let steep 30 minutes. Refrigerate until very cold, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Add mead; whisk until thick and glossy, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl set over an ice-water bath, and whisk occasionally until cool, about 30 minutes.
- Put remaining 1/2 cup cream, the bay leaf-infused cream, and nutmeg into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Fold into wine mixture. Refrigerate up to 2 hours. Serve garnished with sugared bay leaves.
Tips:
- Use a good quality sweet white wine for the syllabub. A Riesling or Gewürztraminer works well.
- Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it to hold its shape.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the wine mixture. Over-mixing will cause the syllabub to lose its light and airy texture.
- Serve the syllabub immediately or chill it for a few hours before serving.
- Garnish the syllabub with fresh berries or a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
Conclusion:
Syllabub is a classic English dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It is a light and airy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it at a dinner party or a casual get-together, syllabub is sure to be a hit.
