Ingredients
- 500 ml Whole milk
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 pinch Ground nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, and granulated sugar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let the mixture boil.
Step 3
Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. The mixture will begin to thicken as the acid from the lemon juice reacts with the milk and cream.
Step 5
Continue to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly. The posset should have a smooth, custard-like consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the posset into heatproof serving glasses or mugs.
Step 7
Allow the posset to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg on top for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, citrus-infused treat!
