Lilac Honey Posset (or Rose, Elderflower etc.)
Makes about 6 portions.
INGREDIENTS
4 cups cream (heavy or regular whipping cream both work)
½ cup honey
⅓ cup lemon juice
1-2 cups fresh blossoms (be sure to remove all stems, especially from Elderflower…and if you’re using lavender, you’ll need just half a cup!)
wee pinch of salt & cardamom (if you’re so inclined)
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring cream and honey to boil over medium-high heat. Stir continually until honey is fully combined.
Keep at a low boil for 3 full minutes, and keep stirring! Then add lemon juice and stir some more.
Remove from heat and mix in your blossom thoroughly. Allow to infuse for an hour.
Strain off flowers and pour into small jars or ramekins.
Cover tightly and chill overnight.
Some say you can stick in the freezer for 30-40 minutes (if you’re in rush to sample your just desserts) but we’ve both found they won’t decently set unless left for 24 hrs. shared from ~gathervictoria.com
