- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
Aromatics and Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl in the refrigerator for optimal cream whipping results.
- Whip cream and sugar together using an electric mixer until soft, billowy peaks develop, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in white wine, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and delicate lemon zest, continuing to blend until the mixture transforms into a smooth, luxurious texture.
- Sample the syllabub and delicately adjust the sweetness by incorporating additional sugar or tartness with extra lemon juice, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
- Carefully transfer the creamy mixture into elegant serving glasses, creating graceful swirls with each spoonful.
- Refrigerate the dessert for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set and become perfectly chilled.

- Use fresh, high-quality lemons to maximize bright, zesty flavor profile.
