Ingredients

• 300 ml Heavy cream
• 50 ml Lemon juice
• 1 whole lemon Lemon zest
• 50 g Caster sugar
• 75 ml Dry white wine
• 1 tbsp Brandy
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 2 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, caster sugar, white wine, and brandy. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 2

Using a hand or stand mixer, begin whipping the heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until it forms soft peaks (do not overwhip).

Step 3

Gradually pour the lemon and wine mixture into the whipped cream, folding gently with a spatula to fully incorporate. Be careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 4

Once fully combined, spoon the mixture evenly into serving glasses or bowls.

Step 5

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the syllabub to firm up slightly.

Step 6

Before serving, garnish each portion with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lemon, if desired.
