Ingredients

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup honey
  • cup lemon juice

  • ¼ cup elderflower cordial

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan combine the heavy cream and honey. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the honey is melted. Boil the cream for 3 minutes, stirring so that it doesn't scorch. Do not leave the cream unattended as it can easily boil over.
  • After boiling for 3 minutes, turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and floral flavouring of your choice. If using dried florals, stir together, cover, and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain through a wine mesh strainer.
  • Divide the cream between individual ramekins or parfait glasses. Allow to cool before covering with film. Chill overnight or for at least 8 hours until completely set. Garnish with flowers if desired and enjoy!
