Step by Step guide

Step 1

Thoroughly mix in a large bowl the oloroso sherry (which means 'fragrant' in Spanish; the flavor of this sherry is richer than regular sherry), sugar, brandy, two tablespoons of lemon juice, and the zest of one lemon (you will need a couple more pinches of zest for garnish later). Cover the bowl with a lid or wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature for twelve hours or simply overnight.

Step 2

After that, add heavy cream and a pinch of nutmeg to the mixture and whisk with a hand whisk until soft, airy peaks form.

Step 3

Carefully spoon the prepared syllabub into small glass cups and before serving, garnish each portion with the remaining lemon zest and fresh rosemary leaves.
