Is this 600-year-old recipe any good? (Lemon Posset)

Is this 600-year-old recipe any good? (Lemon Posset)

Posset is a historic British drink‑turned‑pudding that dates back to the 15th century. The traditional version is a warm, lightly curdled custard made with eggs, sugar, and cream, while the modern version is a silky, lemon‑flavored cream set without starch. This recipe walks you through both methods so you can compare the old‑world eggnog‑like treat with the bright, citrus‑forward dessert beloved today.
