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!
