Traditional Cider Syllabub

Mix apple cider, lemon juice, and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand for an hour.

Stir in double cream.

Whisk the mixture until it holds soft peaks (be careful not to over-whisk).

Pour into decorative glasses and chill for several hours.

The cider will often settle at the bottom, creating a beautiful layered effect.

Serve chilled, sometimes with a dusting of nutmeg.
