Syllabub

Uncommon card · No. 180914

Syllabub refers to both a pudding and a beverage, both made by curdling cream or milk with an acid such as wine or cider. Both dishes were popular in British cuisine from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The holiday punch, sweet and frothy, was often considered a ladies' drink. Early recipes for syllabub are for a drink of cider with milk. By the 17th century it had evolved into a type of dessert made with sweet white wine. More wine could be added to make a punch, but it could also be made to have a thicker consistency that could be eaten with a spoon, used as a topping for trifle, or to dip fingers of sponge cake into.
