Syllabub
Syllabub
Syllabub (/ˈsɪləbʌb/), also known as sillabub or sillibub, is a traditional English dessert, popular from the 16th to 19th centuries. It is made from sweetened cream or milk curdled with wine, cider, or another alcoholic beverage.
Etymology
The term "syllabub" is believed to have originated from the name of a drink, "sillibub", which was a combination of sweetened milk and wine. The name may have been derived from the phrase "silly bub", meaning "happy drink". However, the exact etymology is uncertain.
Preparation
A traditional syllabub is made by mixing sweetened cream or milk with an alcoholic beverage such as wine or cider. The acid in the alcohol causes the cream or milk to curdle, creating a light, frothy mixture. The mixture is then often flavored with lemon, nutmeg, or other spices.
