What is a Posset?

I came across the following post today and thought I’d share it with you.

A Super Easy Old-Fashioned Creamy Dessert

It is from a blog called Gather: Wild Food, Magical Cookery.

Here’s an excerpt from the post:

“Be cheerful knight: thou shalt eat a posset to-night at my house”  William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Dating back to the middle ages, the posset is making a comeback. Perfect for when you want to whip up a special dessert with minimal effort, it’s made with three ingredients, honey, cream and lemon juice. These are boiled together and chilled overnight. That’s it. And if that isn’t wonderful enough, try infusing your posset with spring flowers like lilac, wild rose or elderflower. Simply divine.
